RCA 8-T-244 Table Top TV

[nasadowsk]

If the CRT's a 10BP4, they're as common as dirt.

I never understood why, but there are a zillion of those tubes, even NOS, out there. They popup on fleabay all the time, and it seems everyone's got 3 or 4 laying around.

Did RCA expect 10 inch TVs to be the big thing and just make a zillion of them? Was it ever a real popular tube in TVs? I mean, really, there's a LOT out there still.....
