When were the last 19" B&W TV's made?

In the past, we've determined that 5" B&W TV's were made until shortly before the DTV transition, 12" sets were made until at least the mid '90's, and 22" sets were made until circa 1981. So, when did 19" portable B&W's cease to be made available on the "new" market in the USA?

When I was a kid, I would have sworn there were some in the late '80's Sears and JCPenny Christmas catalogs; but, after looking through online editions of some of the older catalogs, I'm not finding any from that time period. I also remember, a long time ago, fixing a Philco-branded 19" set that had, IIRC, Samsung guts in it and I was thinking it was from around '83-'84; but, I could be wrong.

I do know that Zenith offered some 19" sets with digital tuning around '81-'82.

Does anyone have any other information as to when 19" B&W's ended their run?
