Bryan,
I have to agree with Chaud. These are probably the same chassis used in the 25" Maggies. We also get back to previous posts that suggest that Magnavox, like other manufacturers in the late 60's, had a wharehouse full of 21" tubes and masks and mounting hardware. Plus cabinets and backs ect. Some accountant may have suggested that a profit was still to be made on assembling and selling these as loss leaders. They would advertise them at a very attractive price and display the 21" next to a 25" set. Usually the customer would go for the bigger (higher priced) screen. Unless they were real bargin hunters and snapped up the last of the roundies.
