From what I've heard on here, the early trinitron tubes weren't long for this world. I also think their small screen size rules them out of the "family use" category.

I've used 30-year old Zenith sets (in the 90s) as daily watchers with no re-capping/restoration. The pictures produced would be acceptable to 95% of average TV viewers.

I would say that 4-tube Chromacolor sets deserve mention, as well as the first solid-state Chromacolor II sets.
