That's really interesting, thank you for posting it.

Two things I noted, they figured the average life of a color TV at eight years, not sure what constituted the end of life back then, maybe major repairs like a CRT or Flyback.

I also loved the little war between RCA's PC board construction and Zeniths hand wired sets, Zenith referring with a sneer to the "Plastic PC boards" and RCA saying PC boards were the future.
Well RCA was right about them being the future but as to quality I think time has proven Zenith correct.
