Color TV color push drives up prices and demand
In September 1965 the big push to color TV catches dealers short on color sets. Prices rise from about 500 to nearly 600 with trade, and some dealers collude on pricing. The piece warns buyers to verify technician training and guarantees, compares hand wired versus printed circuit sets, and emphasizes strong antennas and signals for true color. It notes vertical chassis and heat issues, advises against cheap vertical boards, and suggests checking installation twice. Next week looks at tape recorders.
