In the 1950s it
was rare to see a TV with UHF, as most older cities did not have UHF stations until the '60s. My best guess, however, is that these late '50s sets with UHF tuners sold very well in UHF-only markets such as Scranton, Pennsylvania, Youngstown, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Fresno, California, et al. If the sets lasted long enough and were located in markets with VHF stations but no UHF ones (at the time the set was purchased), the sets would be ready (no need for a converter) when UHF stations arrived in these areas.
