Just an update, I soaked the tubes in hot soapy water, the coating and the back printing came off :( I had an idea to etch the original lettering and add the Tesla company logo on the back of the tubes. I have had a template made from my custom artwork. I hope to try this out next week and I will post a link to photos of the results.
