Oddly, no RCA, GE, Westinghouse, or Sylvania 27 inch monochrome models were found.

Many Dumont 30 inch sets were likely converted to 27 inch when the 30BP4 became unavailable.

RCA made a 27 inch set in 1953. It had a 27MP4 rectangular metal cone CRT in it! I installed a rebuilt CRT. The big metal CRT's were only guaranteed for 6 months by the rebuilder!
