Thanks to Steve for posting the mini-console and JR for the ebay ad, the distributor's salesmen enjoyed showing those off I bet.
I don't either one scored in that respect! The last of the tube based RCA's used Japanese sourced tubes in their products.
I have a CTC51K, 1974 issue set, where all the original factory tubes were Japanese but the 3A3, which was original.
Those small B/W sets had Japanese tubes as well.
