One roundy is flaky and emission is different each time I test it...Sometimes weaker sometimes stronger (it varies between weak and strong). The other 2 are unknowns...One has damaged socket bakelite and a heater lead broke flush at the glass when I connected my tester to test it. The remaining one is in similar shape only there is not a hole in the base to tell me where the lead broke... I plan on removing the bases on those and attempting to repair the leads. With only three roundy tubes, likely none will be let go even if all are good, since if all are good I'll have potentially 2 sets that need them, and I have to keep a spare...

Oddly enough the other types (monochrome) with bakelite bases fared much better.
