Heard an urban legend to the effect that GE and RCA independently hired the same consultant and asked him if it still made business sense to keep making tubes and tube consumer equipment. He said no to both (neither knew that he was reporting to the other company), and both companies bailed out.

I thought I understood that RCA called it quits on tubes in 1977.
