I've never understood this Steve and have had several conversations myself with people about this. You tell them that the chassis used many miniature tubes that weren't available until during or after the war and they shrug it off. You then get the line "well the cabinets were made pre-war and then stored in a warehouse until after the war". So how did they design a cabinet before the war that was to small to fit any chassis design of the time that used all octal tubes? Do people really think this is how engineering works, the cabinet is designed and then a chassis is made to fit? I guess Vassos had a crystal ball so he was able to designed the cabinet ahead of time :/ Like you say, convincing them of this is futile. Let them believe what they want.
