Started from 1964/65 the new paint scheme of yellow and red, first applied on the 7500-series cars, was adopted to all rolling stock. Within the 1960s, the cars of 6000-series were under rehabilitation, so almost each car had it own original look because of different position of rain gutters and other details. However, some cars of 6175-6241 batch (6192, 6193, 6195, 6197, 6237 etc.) retained the original configuration of rain gutters until end of 1960s, while original doors were replaced by new ones. In 1967 the Tokyo City administration decided on complete abandonement of the tramways over the following five years. By end of 1972, only the Minobawashi-Oji section of routes 27 and 32 remained, but after the oil crisis of 1973 the remaining sections from Waseda via Otsuka, Oji and Arakawa to Minobawashi remained in service until todays, known as the 'Arakawa' line. Most of the 6000-series cars were scrapped in late 1960s - early 70s, but cars 6030, 6080, 6086, 6152, 6181, 6189, 6191, 6209-6213 (later converted to the flower cars) and 6219 remained for use in the Arakawa until 1978, when the line was converted to one-man operation. From 6000-series, cars 6063, 6080, 6152, 6159, 6162, 6191, 6219 are preserved.
