Not common as such. At least not the badged Bradfords.

The later sets were quite popular with a certain class of customer in the late '80s. Those who didn't want one of the black cased articles which were all the rage then. Telefunken still did nice polished wooden cabinets.

I sold a few when I was in the trade, not over fond of them though - too many intermittents and dry joints to be regarded as reliable. Having said that they did give a fair picture. I used a 16 inch with text as my workshop monitor for several years.
