(the other sister started college around that time and I found her a mid-80's XL-100 19" for that price at a used furniture store.) Soon you could find a used GE "AA" for the same price as this Amtel.

And, soon after that, you couldn't give away a CRT TV that old and then it got to where you couldn't give away any CRT TV. When I first started picking up used TV's to fix and sell, $20-$25 was about the going rate on a good used 12" B&W. I sometimes got $30-$35 for the AC/DC 12" sets.
