My 21CT55 (CTC2B) has a 21AXP22 and has never lost it's vacuum. I understand that the set originally came from the Las Vegas area to Omaha and has been moved around locally, and still has really good emission. Although It was replaced with a "new" 21AX in 1957, so the original must have crapped out a few years after the set was built.

John Yurkon here in Michigan did it. He apparently has a rebuilding setup.

My 21ax is a colorama rebuild from '62. The emissions are very strong and it performs great. It's a tough one having survived the 1200 mile trip from mass through multiple potholes and frigid weather. I attribute it's long life to the conditions I have in my room. I run a dehumidifier and keep my room at a constant 72 degrees. The only thing that scares me is that the damn evacuation nipple is one of those copper ones that have been known to leak rarely.
