Not a bad set! I think those were "CRT disposal" models to get rid of the 5" tube inventory, much like the cheapie RCA CTC-20 (actually was a CTC-39 with a roundie retrofit) to dump all the remaining 21FJP22s from stock. Those 5" color tubes were used in all kinds of stuff from medical equipment to airplane cockpit displays, so I imagine there were zillions of them instantly worthless in about the mid 90s when everything small started going LCD.
