It's actually a blue 56 which might be a little scarcer than a 27. Unfortunately, the GE eye tube is nearly dead. Speaking of GE, the friend I bought this radio from stopped by for a visit earlier this week and filled me in a little on it's history. He pulled it out of the attic of a man that had worked at GE in their prewar TV division. So that might explain the GE branded eye tube. Perhaps other parts came from the GE labs too.
