I know some Sonys from the 80's had short lived tubes.

They'd go gassy with low emission; sometimes in less than a year. Sony put out an upgraded tube in the early 90s. I forget the number, but it was something like A67JHG00X. I bought a brand-new KV-2654R in '83ish, and took it under warranty in a few months for a new tube. By the time the 26" line was 10 years old, I hardly ever saw one with the 710AB22 still in it.
