I got several of them as freebees, as the customer thought, that it was so cheap, it wasn't worth repairing. I don't remember what went wrong with them, but was a simple cheap repair. They worked well and IIRC, I sold them for $35.00. 
They also sold a Kenco branded Sylvania-built hybrid 19" color table model for $177.00. Unheard of at the time.  |
I recall Kennedy and Cohen being in the Delaware Valley (media speak for Philly-Jersey-Delaware). I also remember the cheapest set was a 1975 Sanyo 12" BW for $59.66 when all the others were $80+
