Reconditioned color TVs from $89 - 1980
1980 TV Commercial for Blewski's TV in Rochester NY, advertising reconditioned color TVs for $89 and up, some with 30 day warranty.

Just noticed that they show the address, 2334 Culver, on a TV set, and it looks like they did it with a slide inserted in their B&K analyst, which is seen in a later shot.
Edit: looking closer, I'm not so sure they did it with the B&K rather than some artwork at the TV studio. Here's the location on Google street view. Last edited by old_tv_nut; 06-23-2017 at 11:25 AM. |

I bet the color roundie on the showroom floor was the one that could have been bought for $89.
Where is my time machine? |

Whoa, treasure! I'll have everything other than the roundies (I think I see part of one more) and the B&Ws. Lots of collectors after those so it's win-win.

I could have been one of those guys. Trying to pick winners and losers would get old. You could have a lot of hours into an $89 special like a portacolor and only clean the tuner on a Zenith chroma color that would fetch almost 200

Even those I'm interested in could be a lot more popular in a couple of decades, who knows. In the meantime, the more obscurities I can get my hands on the better.
