How expenisve was a black and white tv set in late '70's and early '80's

[Mad-Mike]

I grew up from the early 80's till the late 90's. I don't think 2 TV's became commonplace until the late 1980's. First person I knew was a rich family member in the late 1980's.

Our first second TV was a J.C. Penney (RCA) B&W TV that I had my Atari 2600 hooked up to in my bedroom when I was eight in 1990, I got it from my half sister, daughter of said rich family member. It was replaced by a Trinitron that got hit by lightning and then a brand new Zenith in 1993 whose tube went dim by 1998.
