I found an ad that featured both versions, the SS model was $20 higher. Was 20 bucks enough to keep them from selling well?

I'm not sure there's a tube portacolor in that ad... The set says "68% solid state" the tube portacolors only had one transistor in the UHF tuner... unless they are doing some decietfull advertising BS and counting SS diodes against the compactions, and even that doesn't seem mathematically possible, I don't know how they could come up with %68 solid state.
