"Join the club"... I know of about 5 of those with tubes of lost vacuum.



The 19" and 24" tubes were available as early as late '49 or and early '50 in some exotic sets, including the DuMont. Commonplace by '51. In fact, they were being dumped in cheapie sets like Muntz and Pacific Mercury by '52.
