I think your memory must be playing tricks on you there Mark, looking at
some of the original price details [which I can produce if you like].. In
1967 (the world's first large screen fully solid state colour TV) the dual
standard BRC 2000 sold with a recommended price of 284 guineas.. And in 1969
the 25 inch (single standard) Ekco CT105 sold with a recommended price of
£292. doubtless taking the 'recommended' price out of the equation and
looking for bargains, it's possible they could have been purchased for even
less.
