I might add one more detail, and that is, most color TV owners in the 1950s & early 60s, would call out a factory service tech; not the neighborhood TV repairman. That's because most neighborhood techs claimed they'd work on color sets, but in fact many times, they'd get themselves in trouble. RCA had a service fleet in most all cities, and also many, MANY RCA sets were kept under annual service contracts, and only RCA techs would be allowed to work on the sets under that policy.

This isn't exactly important in the case of your writing, I guess, but I thought it's worth mentioning.
