I would think expansion and contraction would be bad for that tube.
Yes it DOES appear to have the original 21AX, since the safety glass is still in place, as is the plastic cover over the metal shell of the tube. The set is FAR from operational, and needs a full recap and such...., but is intact, knobs, back cover and all--and as I said--appears to have a good tube.


So, I should just unplug it--and "let it alone" I guess.
