I think I'm going to have to go look through all my TVs.

And yes, even stranger things have happened: http://njarc.org/10000radio.html.

How about the ones with an image of President Lincoln engraved on them. Fits nicely under those screw in light bulb base fuses, and never go open...

Since Lincoln, ummm, "fuses" have been made of copper-coated zinc since mid-1982, I wonder if their current rating has gone down?

Good question, they might be a fire hazard now.

The guy that put those WE and the RCA tube in there must have had some industrial electronics or telco connection to have easy access to those tubes. I would test 'em, clean 'em off with Windex, and put 'em on that auction place, pronto! Individually, of course.
