Pete,
I think the Hallicrafter's marketing dept.,and other manufacturers sticking color labels and adapter plugs on their sets, saw an opportunity to move a few more sets out the door. Just turning the set around, a salesman could show the potential buyer this flashy label and close the deal.The customer probably thought he'd be able to receive color the moment it became available. I'm sure the salesman didn't argue the point.
It still goes on today with HD or is that HD ready?
