Number of color sets sold

[zeno]

The best source for production numbers is probably the old
trade publications that covered TV ( brown goods) sales or
service. Someone can point you to the links. Numbers grew fast
with the intro of rectangle CRT's. About 1966 there was a color TV
shortage mostly due to CRT availability. Dealers would buy ANY
color TV they could find. By the 70's Zenith was probably building
near a million sets a year. Our little shop probably sold 300-400
a year in the 70's. Everything peaked in the mid 80's often selling
10 sets on a good Saturday. After that things slowly went down.
The only time it got better was when LCD sets got bigger, better
& less $$$. That lasted a few years then the whole thing ended.......
