In 56 it was changed to the 21AXP22A due to small changes and is interchangeable with the first version. I have a 1957 Sylvania that originally used that tube but 56 was the year it was used most. The CTC 4 had a 21AXP22 and the 5 used the "A" version, the 7 used the 21CYP22. I think there was a different phosphor used in the later version of the 21AX.
Thank you, that's exactly what we needed. I enjoyed visiting your page - it's a pleasure to see someone saving some of the old consoles that no one wants, as well as starting a collection as a young man. Get ready to hear a lot of "we got rid of that" as the years go on. Won't you feel smug that you were smart enough to save them! Thanks again for the great information.
