Even if a CRT was bought new in the 1960's, it could have been sitting in a warehouse for years already then. The number of replacement CRTs sold at well over $100 each, plus installation, for the relatively few small-screen color TVs still in use long enough to need a new tube, was probably very small. I would not doubt if less than 100 of those CRTs were ever replaced in consumers' homes nationwide.
