Hallo!
Just thought I'd follow up on this... my dad was able to help identify some of the tubes because he is just that awesome. :lol
Here's what he had to say:
"The big tube is what's called a high voltage rectifier--used to develope high voltage (15kv to 25kv depending on the type of tv) with the high voltage transformer. The two smaller tubes are simple amplifier tubes--look like an audio and a verticle output tube. Easy peasy....I got tons of that stuff. Interestingly, the gun in the third picture has broken tubes in it---look at the white residue at the top of the tubes compared to the dark or silvery innards of the other pics. That silvery stuff turns white when a tube breaks while running."
The third picture he was referring to is this one:

I kinda thought those looked busted, so it's nice to see he thinks so, too.
I hope to be going home sometime soon, so I'll take a look at all the stuff he has, just in case anyone other than me is still interested in actual tubes.
