GRAETZ Burggraf: DM 2370,-

BLAUPUNKT CTV 2005: DM 2365,-

KUBA IMPERIAL: DM 2348,-

NECKERMANN Koerting: DM 1990,-

Beside them, there were also 49 cm.- color tv sets and the KUBA Porta-color (DM 1798,-) in 1967.
The PHILIPS set had 27 tubes too and had a very good video unit with an excellent picture. SABA used so many tubes because many tv servicemen were not familiar with transistors. (This was written in the service manual.)
I think the best TV ever made in the late 60's was the Philips KM1 multistandard model PAL/SECAM. Extremely complicated but with a wonderful picture quality.
I still have a few sets in working order. They came in 49cm(not sure) 63cm 65cm and/or 66 for the latest ones.
They were full of tubes and transistors.
Philips produced lots of color TV's with tubes when the others already made fully transitorised sets because Philips produced too many tubes in the 70's and needed to get rid of them.
