ARRAN: You and I both need to get our signals straight about which country certain tubes were used. I forget that tubes, such as 5Y4 were used in Canadian radios, by RCA. I think that there were others too, though examples escape me. Apparently, Canadian RCA wasn't as tightly under Sarnoff's heel as the US RCA. While a lot of Canadian RCA sets used he same chassis as those offered to the south, a great lot of them were totally designs that were Canadian RCA only. Quite a few of the Canadian RCA's were a lot better in quality of design than their similar sister sets in the USA.

So, having serviced radios since 1944, I have a clear idea about what went on south of Canada, buit the Canadian GE and RCA were different creatures.
