Not ever! GE split their tube division off as MPD Corp.
in the 1980s. Sylvania went into 2 pieces–the electronics
division went to Philips in the 70s, and the lamp division
went to GTE. The electronics division (what’s left of it)
is now Philips Components, and they no longer make tubes
that I know of.
