I think Magnavox still made some consoles up until the mid '90's, while RCA and Zenith held out until around 2001. I do remember them costing around $600-$700 and they used the exact same chassis as the $250 BPC version. You were paying that extra money for that fine particleboard and plastic cabinet.

Not many years ago, there were people in this town who didn't want anything but a console TV and I had no problem getting $100-$150 for any decent consoles that I found. Then, almost overnight, no one wanted consoles anymore and it's now to the point where I can't even give them away. Right now, I have a nice looking early '90's RCA CTC150something console with stereo sound and A/V jacks. It has a video problem that I've never fixed b/c I know I'll end up getting stuck with it even if I do fix it. The last console that I sold was a 2001 Zenith in perfect shape for $50 and I was darn glad to get it.
