That repair man didn't have the full story. We did introduce rectangular color in 1965 and it was basically dominant within a year, but it is documented and backed up by surviving sets that roundys remained in production until atleast 1968 as bargain sets (Philco that year offered a metal cabinet roundy that was the cheapest color picture per inch) others here have found ads for Muntz roundys from 1973.
