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.

Ooher - remembered some article giving present day prices :-(
nevertheless you can still buy a TV for less than they cost seventy years 
ago!
