    Description

    An unusual scanning disc television item ... Early "Crater Lamp" tube mfg by the Industrial Electronic Tube Company, Richmond, VA .... for the Western Union "Water Mill Laboratory" in Water Mill, NY. Comes in the original box .. tube measures approx 6.5" tall and has a very unusual, heavy brass base. I have been unable to find any mention of this tube or the company that made it. Rare would seem to be an appropriate term to describe it! Very well packed shipping weight will be 2 pounds from zip code 24012.
