Two things I think killed that idea .
1) The tax laws may have changed permiting cheaper radios.
2) WWII
It was mostly killed because it was just a dumb idea. By 1940, the
Germans swung the other way, to *very* general purpose tubes, rather than
super complex application specific types.
To keep it on topic - I need most of the tubes, but most importantly, a
manual, for the WW2 German FuG O3 "teletype" modem. A big multi-chassis
FSK box, probably for modulating/demodulating Lorenz transmissions for two
and four wire land lines. Long shot, but I have been fruitless elsewhere.
