There was a Curtis-Mathes store (looked like it could have been corporate-owned, or a good franchise) in downtown Cambridge, MD. It, too, ended up as a cheesey pawn shop. Still, might have been an improvement.
It was in the late 80s or early 90s that C-M ran a promotion where they were looking for the "oldest Curtis-Mathes TV set". The idea was to get you to bring your old set in on trade for a new model. The advertising showed something from the 10BP4 era. Well, I was an excited teenage collector so I gave the Cambridge store a call, and asked just what they were going to do with all those trades. Maybe I could get my hands on one of those early models? Well, not quite! I think they just told me that anything older would get junked and that they had arrangements to get rid of it, so thanks but no thanks. I never liked C-M after that!
