Nuvistors were here and gone pretty quickly-I think they really were done in consumer products by the late 60s. They arrived too late on the scene to compete with the semiconductor devices that began going into tuners at that time. Far more successful were the compactrons, which continued to see television service for a few more years. I think I read that GE kept making compactrons until the late 80s. Nuvistors must have been dropped too quickly to build up as spare parts as several types command kinda high prices today. Anyone know when they stopped making them?
