I know how they degrade over a long time, but they should last almost forever. I'm just curious. |

Tubes themselves. One involved separating all the layers of the screen, and it was never the same afterwards (although it worked it had obviously been worked on). T'other was just a slide-in job one the old one was slid out. Worked great afterwards, so much so that I wouldn't be able to identify which one it was now. |

It was a long time ago, so no. At the time the tubes were reasonably easily available, which suggests repairs weren't uncommon. |
