kind of an interesting back-story on this set....I got it in 1994. My Aunt and Uncle bought a big old house that had been split into apartments, and this was in one of them. My cousin used to use it to play Super Nintendo. When they gave it to me, I lived in an apartment, but there were big storage lockers, and I had it in one of those. I moved from there in 1996, and the set got left behind. Flas forward to 2004 when I thought "I wonder if it is still there?" and.. I still had the key to the lock. went there with a buddy and yes.. it was untouched and still there! I've had it stored in my basement since. And yes.. you could still get a 21FJP22 in 84, but not much longer after that. My CTC-16 has a Grade AA tube that has a 1976 code date, the Sylvainia is a rebuild, but my Zenith roundie has some off brand tube in it, from 1989, and that totally surprised me that one could still get one at that point.
