Should've answered this one earlier but here goes. Those of you that have been around long enough can correct me but here's my take on these tubes..
The 23EGP is just a structurally weak tube, I've always referred to them as a "glorified" black and white tube!! Rebuilders in the day wouldn't touch 'em. And not too long ago Doug had the misfortune of one imploding while he was attempting cataract surgery on one.
This would be a good question for Scotty at Hawkeye too!!
