My Sylvania console has a door switch, but it's for the light for the record changer compartment. It couldn't cost too much if they put the switch in to save a bulb.
Rapid cycling of the electronics sounds like what they were trying to avoid by not having a TV kill switch.
Then again, the push button type of switch they used for the light might not be able to handle the higher loads of the TV.
