I just spoke with the owner of the tube. He purchased it new from the RCA distributor as a spare to install in a ct100 that he owned back in the mid 60's. He never got around to restoring the ct100 and so the tube has been sitting in the loft of his barn in Michigan ever since. The ct100 was left with a relative out east and when they closed the business out there the ct100 was trashed with many other electronic items.

He did not know if the 15GP22 was still good as it has not been tested. He is going to try and see tomorrow if the getters are still silver. If they are, then chances are good the tube is still good as it was never even hooked up to a tester since it was received.

I will post here again as soon as I hear anything about the condition of the tube.
