Default Valves for TV repairs Practical Television article

Many years ago I remember seeing an article in Television magazine or even Practical Television suggesting the best valves to keep in stock for repairing TVs. I think it might have been in the 1960s.
Can anyone point me to the article or the suggest the best valves to keep in stock mainly for 50/60s B&W TVs. I'm having a cull of my valves as I seem to have trays of old TV valves!!
Thanks

You are probably thinking of this from Television, November 1977. I keep a copy in my “rally” bag in case I spot some and need a reminder.
