The Triniton tubes were quite long lived. In fact, my father who was a supplier of tubes to the repair shops in the NH seacoast area never had to lay in a stock of them while sales of the tele were quite high. As for being a family set a godly number of my friends had them though only 12" sets as their only color sets and also had their b&w sets that were older. By the time the b&w sets were replaced Trinitrons were being offered in larger sizes and were replacing the b&w sets while the little Trinitrons were migrated into the parents' bedroom or living room while the main set that would have in the past been in the living room were moving to the newly emerging family rooms.
