I'm surprised that the guy still has 8 left. I bought two, one as a spare. It was difficult to resist buying more.

My two 17A485459 ballast tubes arrived today and now my 9VT1 lives again. These glass tubes are so much better. I bought two so I would have a spare. I was tempted to buy more as well but I thought of the many others who have been looking for these. I am thinking of making a resistor replacement, mounting it in the set with an octal plug and if ballast tubes ever go extinct I can just plug in my resistor network and keep the set going. I want to refinish the cabinet, replace the torn grill cloth and add retrace line suppression to my set. It works very well of an Insignia DTV converter.
