Now I have to decide whether to install the Rca hi-lite tube or the Sylvania color bright 85 tube.

[QUOTE=oldtvman;3100950]Thanks guys,

Did a little more digging. Ford purchased Philco in late 1961. They re-named it Philco-Ford in 1966. Ford sold Philco to GTE in 1974. GTE also owned the Sylvania brand at the time. So maybe the Sylvania tube? Just for yucks.

Could be a sylvania tube, the two philco ford roundies I have I think have a RE21FBP22 and its a VERY nice tube esp the reds.

the ones I have are def not clones though, they have hybrid chassis, tuner/IF are SS the rest is tube. The HV regulation is a feedback type, not a shunt.
