In 1987, Dad was looking for a replacement 13" color TV to replace the tube set in our motorhome that no one would work on because it had tubes in it. At one store, they had a 13" Emerson with regular tuners for $149.95. The next model up had 12 or 14 buttons and was varactor-tuned set, with no remote, and I think it was $189. The one up from that was remote and cable ready, with a red LED channel display, and I think it was $229. Dad bought the cheapest one, which was fine for the RV. However, when he started alternating the set between the RV and his bedroom, where he had cable, he started having regrets about not buying the remote control, cable ready set. I think he would have liked the latter much better, because he could get all the cable channels on it and he wouldn't have had to get out of bed to turn off the TV.
