Testing of the tube will most likely occur the weekend of the 28th and 29th.

I believe RCA had excess inventory that was warehoused for sale as replacements. That is probably where replacement tubes came from. RCA also had the ability to rebuild tubes, and from what I uncerstand you could obtain a rebuilt crt and had to return a dud. Of course this is just hearsay and there is no way to confirm this.

Many of the 15G's we see have been renecked and rebuilt. No doubt some of the renecked/rebuilt tubes we see did not pass final inspection and were sent back to be re-worked.
