Probably closer to the mid1960s! Very few later techs really knew how to align the tuned circuits in TVs and radios and it was too time consuming to to do it in a repair shop. I worked for a VERY old TV shop owner in the late 1970s and he was a master at retuning the RF circuits in TVs but he's really the only person that I ever knew that did it regularly and that really knew what he was doing. He got out the Navy in 1945 and one of the big TV companies hired him and extensively trained him on TV repair and he was one of the TV techs that installed the first televisions in the US, specifically in New York City!

Mr. Carlson has several videos demonstrating how RF circuits are peaked an tuned. He's done it using high tech spectrum analyzers and old tech test gear from the 1930's. TV is really just a fancy radio signal.
There's a lot to it.

Trimmer tools. I have a Philips service set going back to the 70's, essential for alignment work.

A set of Golden Screwdrivers for magical tweaking of everything which can be tweaked...
