When I bought a Sylvania Tube Manual about 1960 and filled in the form to get the spec. updates they started to send me the Sylvania Newsletter. One issue stated that the average tv set owner spent $60 per year on repairs. With inflation that would be about $240 today - for each tv out there each year.
