UPDATE: A nice guy in Raleigh NC contacted me. He told me I could have a 23MP4 tube that he has if I come and get it. I loaded up the car and went down there last weekend... about a 4-5 hour drive. About 100 miles into the trip, I remembered that I forgot my tube tester...

I got there. The guy is great. We went through his barn and found the Magnavox console that I was getting. Yep, its a 23MP4 in there. My car is not big enough to haul a console, so we pulled the tube and sat it in my trunk on several layers of blankets, and wrapped the tube up with more blankets for the trip.

I also got a load of OEM tubes from this set. ALL of them test good.

I thanked him, and headed home. When I got here, I brought the tube into the house and tested it. It has a H-K short. I'm sure he didnt know it. So, I'm back to square one, again. It only cost me a tank of gas both ways.

Hey, the filament looks really nice glowing in there!
