In Fall, 1956 RCA was advertising color tv starting at $499. Several ad’s in Life Magazines I have recently been reading. I sold Zenith in the 60’s and we had a 21” in a black cabinet for $399 around 1966.
I have seen the 2 page ad by NBC around mid 1956 in Life. A real push for color tv.

The $298 special was a real interesting set to behold! It had a burnt-orange spray painted cabinet, a single play kiddie turntable for the stereo, an AM radio that had an autodyne circuit, one tube and crystal diode and a 12AX7, 2 50EH5 outputs. Two 6" speakers, one mounted on the bottom left and one mounted on the right side. The TV was the CTC15 clone. It wasn't meant to sold, just displayed!  BTW, all Muntz roundies used Zenith 21FJP22's. Left overs!

That Philco ad confirms that the 1971 Muntz was a roundie. Both are described as 267-square-inch sets.
