Charles, do you know how much TV viewing is done on these sets? I think if they were used in an air-conditioned environment for maybe a few hours of viewing each night and maybe not every night, the sets would have such a better chance of long-term trouble-free life.
It was really the 12 hour a day (or more) TV usage that a lot of families with kids seemed to have that just killed the tube sets with heat buildup.
I've got a CTC-22 portable that had been used in an air-conditioned office all its life, probably seeing little use, and it's amazing how good the picture looks. It seems to have almost no degradation of any components. I need to install some fans on it to try and help mitigate the huge amount of heat it produces and help keep it in its like-new state.
