I would like to have a spare 10BP4 but not enough to ship one. Someday one will turn up locally. I think the reason for their abundance was that nobody really knew what kind of life to expect out of a picture tube so they stocked up. TV repairman & distributors might have thought that they would be replacing lots of these after 6 mos. or a year. Personally I wouldn't worry so much about a bad cap taking out the crt as I would it taking out the power transformer. Now, that you won't find on every streetcorner!
