Ah! I didn't remember that specifications document... thanks for bringing it back, Mike. Did anyone ever see any of those "four decade" tubes, or even the blue or red phosphor ones in the wild? Not that I have the money to afford even one of this "more common" ones, but it's nice to daydream. :) The six decade didn't even have a part number so we can safely assume was on the roadmap but never made it.
