Was that 1200 to 2200 lei a year? Ten times the average salary for a color TV?

IIRC in the '54-'55 school year when you could still buy a $1000 CT-100 from the showroom floor (where and when I first saw a CT-100), my spanish teacher was making $3800 a year. Four times more than the price of a CT-100; but it didn't matter, there was no way he could afford one either after living expenses (he had a family).
