I don't have just the tube, but I still have a nice RCA 8T-243 that I would let go of if someone can pick it up (both physically and geographically).

One good thing is that vintage TV's that have made it to this point with a good CRT will very likely never need a replacement - barring accidents. The days of using these sets for hours on end on a daily basis are over for them. My vintage TV's get just enough use to keep them "limber", and I use controlled voltage with a Variac. I am pretty confident I will not need to replace their CRT's any time soon!
I think it's a great time for collectors of vintage TV's and radios. They are old enough to be an appealing collectible, yet still can be made operational often with little trouble of a knowledgeable tech - and the parts can be found somewhat easily. That may not be the case 25-50 years down the road. Their likely will be many static display's or retrofitted electronic substitutions, especially with vintage TV's from the '30-'50's.
