This would be the early 80s... There indeed were still PLENTY of round tube color sets in use then. But by my experience as a repairman, most of the roundies were owned by retirement-age people who had paid plenty for them new, and didn't have video games. However, there are cases I remember where they had games hooked up for use when the grandkids came. I used to see most of the early games hooked up to late-model sets. For one thing, the convergence wasn't the greatest on the round sets (due to most techs not bothering to take time to do a really nice job).
