Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |

I have some JAN GE 5751 from 1963 that have the 3-triangle radioactive marker on the tube itself and the box, and the box also has printed on it "RE 187. 0.00001Uc".
Anyone have knowledge on these markings and/or why some type of radioactive substance would be used in a tube?
I know this is a bit of a strange one, but got curious.
Thanks for input!
