RE: Any info on Victoreen tubes?Any good?PIC... and more..

Merlot cat, hi. Victoreen. Long history making electronic instruments and equipment. I always thought the name was crazy weird - a combination of Victor ( Victor Talking Machines and later RCA-Victor, Victor 16mm projectors [Davenport Iowa]) and "een" as in Noreen, queen, green, and obscene. Well, not as it spells but as it sounds. Some of this is right and left brain at the same time. I don't remember exactly what the Victoreen specialty was. I know they prospered with the domestic atomic related industries that came up after WWII. I don't know if they had a line set up to manufacture or bought OEM from one of the big boys. The top cap looks to be an anode. The tube resembles a diode. I always thought if any earthly manufacturer came out with an Interositer (This Island Earth - Universal Pictures) it would have to be Victoreen.
