In Romania... but that's another story.

Basically because we were poor.
Well not super poor but my folks weren't going to go out and drop $400 or more on a Color TV.
We only had a B&W set after 1970 because my Mom won it in a Raffle, when that died we got a used Bradford B&W set for $35.
I bought our first color set myself, it was a 19" GE and cost around $400. it was the model without VIR or remote and had a knob tuned electronic tuner.
Must have been 1980 because the set was built in late 79 as I recall.
One of the features I liked about it was it had full DC restoration, that was actually mentioned in the sales literature as I recall. I had it about 10 years and it was only repaired once.
