That's exactly it. Sets not in use were dismantled and stored in an ABC warehouse until they were needed again - in which case, they were trucked back to the studio and reassembled. And interestingly, the use of certain sets had been known to affect the shooting schedule. Episodes were sometimes shot out of sequence simply because a particular batch of non-consecutive episodes required a certain set and it was deemed easier to shoot out of sequence rather than strike what I'm assuming must have been a fairly complicated set to keep dismantling and reassembling.
