NOS 10BP4 on eBay $250 BIN
 

Less than the cost of a rebuild.

He didn't accept my offer of $200 (made the first day of listing) and I didn't want to risk shipping it anyway so I decided to spend my money building a new PC.

Someone should grab this, it's not a bad deal really.

OK, you convinced me! Hope it turns out to be as advertised.

Well i reccon i wont counter bid on it if a members going after it :)

let us know how it goes. im curious now.

I had been thinking about possibly sending one of my 10BP4 duds out for rebuild, but decided against it a month or two ago. This looked like a slightly better deal, for a tube that I would value a little more than a rebuild, so decided to go for it. I'll let you know how it turns out.

CRT arrived, and appears to be exactly as advertised. Double boxed (inner box is the original RCA carton), and shipping was free. Tube is extremely clean, and all aquadag present. Emission is very strong, and no shorts.

Given that the price of this NOS tube was less than a rebuild, and included free shipping, I think it was a good buy.

Of course, one can find decent 10BP4s in many vintage TVs for a lot less $, and in general I'll use used ones in my TVs. But perhaps for something special, this will be a nice CRT to have on hand.
