OK, I understand now, yes. If I had known better, in the store where I worked from March 1979 until January 1980, I could have bought, I think, about four of these 1954 GE color monitors, new in their original wooden crates:

The bad thing is, I had already started collecting old TV sets then (the same store had an RCA 630TS in its back room that I still own), but I thought of color TV as "newer", and I was only interested in pre-1950 TV sets, so I didn't even bother with the GE monitors.
