New York City had the most TV stations in the VHF spectrum you could have per FCC rules. 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. Most small towns, like Syracuse, had only 3 TV stations, 3, 5, and 9. In New York City, the tuner and IF strip had to work well to keep 2nd adjacent stations out of the desired channel. Especially channel 4 and 5 (there's 4 MHz of non-TV related stuff between them, so that's why 4 and 5 could co-exist per FCC rules).

But those prices were in the day when you could wine and dine your girl, and paint the town and have change left over from a quarter...
