Thanks for the thoughts everyone. The box that was constructed for the 23ЛК1Б got it here in one piece, aside from the damage to the phosphor. The loose piece inside the tube is minuscule, I can't believe it caused the damage it did. I'm afraid to use any method of shipping on a replacement that puts the tube face down. This tube isn't tremendously easy to find "around these neck of the woods" so I'd rather not make it "3rd time's a charm" if I can avoid it. I don't know how to shop it face up as the weight distribution would naturally make the box want to go face down. I think if I can get foam molded to the shape of the tube and put two in a box facing opposite directions then the box would naturally sit on its side.
