Hi,
Most of these late model consoles were slow sellers then and usually were bought by older folks. I saw some of these unsold in stores into the early 1990's. This may well have been 1986-1989 era when it was actually made. You are probably right.

They were made in the USA in Texas until Curtis died in a plane crash in the late 80s. They they went to pot. Cabinets were always cheap with a lot of plastic, so I never understood what was so great about them. Those two on eBay are junk, in my opinion.
They did have a very unique chassis for their B&W sets of the late 50s/early 60s. Fairly good design. Their 60s color sets were basically CTC-16 clones. Early 70s solid state sets were Texas-assembled with US CRTs, but had what I think were NEC chasses with modules. Charles
