I own a 19" CCII, a 13" CCII or early systemIII, and passed on a 13" CCII in Alabama about 4 years ago. They are out there just not as common as before. Also with the DTV transition perfectly good sets are hitting the curb daily from either ignorance, the desire not to spend money on something old, or the vain snobbery of refusing to have anything electronic over 5 years old.

It's a well known fact, that people have too much money to spend on extras.
I feel the issue of the smaller screen, transformer chassis Chroma-colors is that they were too heavy and too expensive. At that time-frame, the imports were getting a lot better, performance and reputation-wise. They were easier to handle and of course, less expensive.
