There were replacement tubes available at $85 wholesale when conventional rebuilt tubes were available for a $1 an inch. I bought a new one in '54 or so. The 12WP4 was not rebuildable because of the special gun and evacuation process. Originals were made in Holland.

They are extremely fragile and most shops avoided them because of the easy breakage and high cost.
