The last round sets would have been made around '69 or 70 by Magnavox and Philco to provide a low cost color set and use up their stocks of round tubes...I'm sure there were still some in use. I can remember going to kids' houses when young and they'd be playing Nintendos and such on old TV's that were in awful shape...sometimes there would only be red in the picture, etc. Seemed like parents would often hook the games up to old sets in the basement or garage and such so the main set would not be tied up.
