From what I have read and been told...they were mainly for OLDER people....who did NOT want a color set--who had a large BW set before and still wanted one. But that market was SMALL....and by the early 1980's...had prettey much...LITERALLY..."died off". BW then becam relegated to 19 inch and smaller--till maybe the mid--1980's...after that...it was hard to find ANY BW set over 13 inches.

I recall maybe 15 or maybe a bit more years back...selling a 19" BW set--from the late '70's...NOT a zenith, probably a single-board hot set...for FAIRLY GOOD money--maybe 65-75 dollars..to someone who did not WANT a color tv set !!
