After heavy advertising failed to sell many sets, the price was dropped to $495 by August. Shortly after that, RCA perfected its 21-inch tube, and recalled most of the CT-100s, swapping them for the new 21-inch sets at no cost.
Because they were initially so expensive and there was little color programming available, it took more than a decade for color television to become common in American homes.(info from NPR and earlytelevision.org, photo from Early Television Museum)
