At about the same time there was also a story came to light of an Emitron being found during the clear-out of television centre.

There was indeed an Emitron tube in a glass dispaly case along with a number of other tubes. This case was in the workshop area under studio 1 and was there till almost the very end. I have Photos of it.
I don't know were that case and the tube ended up in the confusion of the on going sell off auctions. I think, hope, it is still in the possession of some BBC department.
BTW I would have guessed that there would be more than 10, but certainly a lot less than 100 surviving Emitron tubes.
As far as I know there are no surviving short neck tubes and I only know of one Super-Emitron, a prototype
