My Parents bought their first set in 1953 when TV hit Quincy IL. Then they bought another new one in 1962. Then they went color in 1972. So the 10 year thing is pretty accurate. That 1972 set lasted until 1986 and it was given to younger brother. . Those were all Admirals. Then in 1986 they bought an RCA console that lasted them the rest of their lives (2004-2012) and I have that set.
