rca xl-100 and works in the drawer commercials

[sampson159]

i remember every one of those commercials.xl100 sets were among the finest ever built,right up there with the zeniths of the era.i have my xl100 that i got from the etf auction in 2007.still on the pallet and was from a museum on display.picture is amazing!it was the best time for tv but repair went south.those ss sets lasted a long time and our incomes suffered.

The WID sets came out backwards 100% SS then hybrids. Probably saw they were loosing to many sales on the low end. IIRC Zenith flat chassis SS sets
went for $150+ more than the hybrid. The hybrids & SS sets were all but the same in the SS stages with lots of interchangable parts.
IIRC the XL100 designation was on sets that were modular as opposed to
the CTC40 etc 25" non modular sets. The ad campaign was very successful.
Zenith only had the hybrid & everyone wanted an XL100. Sales suffered on 14, 16 & 19" sets. Next year Zenith had 17 & 19" sets & sales soared.
The XL100 label came & went over the years but always on the lower end of the line.
