	I wonder how much my parents paid for it? From Retrocrush. Next time you bitch about the high price of a Plasma TV, just remember in 1978 a 13 inch color TV was $419!

We got a big new color TV, one of those wood cabinet ones with the sliding doors, in the spring of '79. I remember it distinctly because I had gotten grounded for saying "sucks" and wasn't allowed to watch it for a week.

And apparently $419.95 in 1978 dollars is somewhere around $1100 in today's dollars...
