While not a vintage tele person, I had in my first life the chance to see daily the tech bench at my father's store and color sets rotated in and out so frequently I stayed with black and white until coming across a Sony KV-1201 (I think that was the model number). This was a defining set as it was reliable and Sony did an excellent job with QC. A year after it came out I visited a Motorola new product party and the engineers there talking about the new units mentioned after a few brews that the marketing department set a development requirement for the r&d and production engineers that the line had to be as stable as the Sonys. The Triniton set up and siting next to others also set up was like watching an led and a worn put crt next to it.
