The factories still existed, demand for color had increased, there was a shortage of CRTs for the color TV sales rates, round tubes were cheaper than rectangular.
One year (maybe 1967? - have to check) RCA ran a color TV ad earlier in the year with top spots on the page for round sets and secondary places for rectangular; then later in the year ran exactly the same artwork except the positions of the round and rectangular sets were interchanged.
