As pppenguin says, prewar tubes present many more problems. RACS finally gave up on doing them because of problems with cracks near the anode connector, though tubes have been successfully been rebuild by others.

Our focus is now on two types of tubes: late 40s/early 50s black and white tubes, and early color tubes (15GP22 and 21 inch round). I am concentrating on the black and white tubes, while two other collectors (with their own lathes and ovens) are working on the color tubes.

It is our hope that one day we will tackle prewar tubes.
