Jeff, I guess some folks just watched a whole bunch more tv than others. Last spring I bought 2 consoles from a gentleman who bought them new. One is a Silvertone from about '53, the crt is a GE with a brightener; the other is a '60 Motorola with a weak crt. From talking to him he replaced the Moto with a color set sometime in the 60s. By my figuring he was going through a picture tube about every 3-4 years. Meanwhile, there are still a number of late 40s sets that appear to be on their original tube.
