I may have an extra tube from one of the metal 8" RCAs... Not sure, but I can check if you need. I have one I'm restoring, and one for parts. As long as the tube is OK in the one I'm keeping, I'd be happy to let go of the spare (if it's also good, of course)

The metal RCA portable uses an 8DP4 rectangular tube. The 8BP4 is an 8" version of the 7JP4. I too would be interested in a price for that 8BP4 tube since I have a Motorola 9VT1.
