In my mom's basement is the remains of our first color TV - 1959 Admiral with the RCA built CTC11 (definitely not a clone). Unfortunately, the chassis was used elsewhere and the tube is strangely missing (it went soft which is why we replaced it with a '77 XL-100) - maybe dad needed a suitable dud/core for credit on a broken neck replacement.
I wonder if there were enough vacuum tubes left there to keep any running as long as the jugs held out.
