I was perusing an article from Radio Retailing 11/32 posted at http://www.tuberadioland.com/philco80Jnr_main.html
It seems that Philco started a little kerfuffle by selling the lowest priced set in the market under the guys of it being a come on to get a prospective buyer in the store. Accusations of starting a price war...

I question I have is I'm curious about what sort the profit margin there was in these sets? Sounds like they were good sellers.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
