kbmuri said what I was thinking. Stuff like this was often done to old radios and tv sets in the fifties, sixties, seventies and even eighties when the value just wasn't there. Let's say this was done when the set was 20 years old. Who was going to pay good money for a set like this in the late sixties? Okay, what is a twenty year old set today? Something comparable would be a 1986 GE 19" color set. How many of us would pay anything for one?
But I would agree if it was done in "modern times" it was a big mistake.
A little side note: there is an appliance store at the other end of the county, located in a big old building downtown. In the big picture window there are numerous antique appliances (refrigerator, stove, etc.) and there is one of these TV sets, still complete thankfully. I have tried contacting them to see if anything might be hidden around there (they have not been in the TV business for quite awhile) but have not had any luck so far.
