I've seen a 21AX as late as the late 60s, with the newer style "digital" RCA logo (as opposed to the round button & lightning bolt logo). RCA had the factory extended warranty service available virtually forever on those sets, as long as the TV owners lived. I knew a guy who worked for RCA Service Co in the 80s, and he said a lot of his customers still had CTC-5 to CTC-10 sets! Usually middle class retired people who bought them new, and kept them looking new. One of my CT-100s had an RCA repair tag from '72.
