That's a very good question. Living close to the CRT factory, when I see an obituary for someone who worked at RCA (its always noted), I wonder if they had bought a color set in the 50s. Unfortunately, I see nothing RCA and ROUND at estate sales here. It seems that when XL-100 came out, everyone dumped their old sets fast, even the RCAs of the late 60's.
