They became a "Magnavox Salon" sometime in the early-to-mid 60's.
IIRC, the downtown Boston store in 1965 and 1966 sold various brands of color TV. Why?, I started work fresh out of high school in Jan. 1965. I worked across the street from Boston store. Was at that location until 1972. I was on the hunt for a color set. I'd grab a quick sandwich and drink, then walk across the street and look at the different color sets on my lunch hour at Boston store.

I also spent a lot of time at Gimbels at Southgate shopping center looking at various color sets. I remember the Maggie's there and quite a few brands of color sets. I think Schuster's had a good display of color sets also.

PS. I have a Boston store advertisement from the Milwaukee Journal dated May, 1967 advertising the RCA color sets. It's on my website.
