Raytheon Model CK 1020 and 1021 GM Tubes (ca. early 1950s) |
|
| The Models CK 1020 and 1021 are nearly identical thin wall beta-gamma GM tubes manufactured by Raytheon Manufacturing Company of Newton Massachusetts. The only difference between the two is size: the 1020 is 3/4" longer than the 1021. In the photo, the tubes on the left and in the center are Model 1020s. The tube on the right is a 1021. Because the tubes are light sensitive, they are painted black. For fun, I removed the paint from the top end of the tube in the center of the photograph. As such, the end of the cathode, a thin coating of aquadag on the inside of the glass, is visible. | |
