5BP4 (1802-P4)This CRT was used in many of the prewar 5" televisions, RCA TT-5 & TRK-5, Meissner 10-1153, GE HM171 & HM185. Electrostatic deflection; electrostatic focus. It is a very poor performing tube, even a NOS tube will have a very dim display. |
|
|
9AP4 (1804-P4)
This CRT was used in the prewar RCA
TRK-9/90.
|
|
|
This particular CRT came from the RCA archives
in Camden. The label carries numerous identification numbers. The L-2041
may have referenced an inventory or project, C-730P is probably the
sequential number that was given to developmental CRT's by RCA, 1804-P4 is
the commercial designation. Then the date which appears to be Jan
11,1939, the initials I have no idea, last is "South Vault" possibly where
the tube was stored.

|
12AP4 (1803-P4)
This CRT was used in RCA
TRK-12,
Andrea
2F12, and virtually all prewar
12" mirror in lid televisions.
|
|
|
This is the 12AP4 in its protective cardboard cover, the tube was shipped this way. When it was installed in the television the front cover was removed and the cone section was kept with the tube, notice the cutout for the HV lead. |
|
|
3KP4
This CRT is used in the Pilot
TV-37, the
first set sold for under $100.
|
|
|
3NP4 (MW6-2)
Projection CRT used in Protelgram
projection units. The Protelgram was used by many manufacturers,
Emerson,
Decca, Scott.
The face of the CRT is spherical to match the curvature of the mirror that
was used in the Protelgram. A version of this tube with a flat face
(MW6-4) was also produced that was used with a
direct lens
projection system.

|
|
5TP4Projection
CRT used in all
RCA projection sets and most other
projection televisions from 1946 - 1949.
Anode voltage 25KV.
|
|
|
5AZP4Second
generation projection CRT, replaced the 5TP4 in projection sets through
the mid 50's. Due to the 40KV anode voltage this tube used, the high
voltage lead was molded on to the tube.
|
|
|
7DP4This CRT was
primarily used in the RCA
621 set.
|
|
|
7EP4
This CRT is used in early 7" sets, in
particular the
Transvision kits.
|
|
|
7JP4
This CRT is used in virtually all 7" sets
from 1948 until the early 50's.
|
|
|
8BP4
This CRT is electrically identical to the 7JP4 except
for the screen size.
|
|
|
10HP4
This CRT is also electrically identical to the 7JP4
except that the screen is a full 10" diameter. Raytheon built this tube
for use in their console.
|
|
|
10BP4
This CRT is the most commonly used picture
tube, used in virtually every 10" set from after the war until the
early 50's.
|
|
|
10FP4
This CRT is the aluminized version of the
10BP4, used primarily by
GE and
Farnsworth as original equipment.
|
|
|
12LP4
Like the 10BP4 above this is the most common
12" CRT found in late 40's and early 50's televisions.
|
|
|
15AP4 (First Style)This CRT was used in early production DuMont sets. Notice the "bump" between the neck and the main bulb, similar to the prewar 12AP4.
|
|
|
15AP4 (Second Style)
This CRT is used in DuMont sets.
The "bump" is gone, and the form is the same as other CRT's of the era.
Notice that DuMont continued to use the "button" style HV connector found
on non television CRT's.
