Obviously just something someone cobbled together to LOOK impressive...but NOT functional.

Any ever come across one of the PC motherboards (AOpen and possibly others) with the vacuum tube audio output amps? I think their was a standalone soundcard that had them, as well.

I did that once. Had an LCD TV with a bad 150 volt zener diode. I subbed a tube (0D3 I think) and it worked. I didn't leave it that way very long, but it gave me the chance to see if the rest of the TV was working.

In reality....there WAS talk about a BW plasma tv--no doubt it would have used tubes--in the late 1950's. It was not called plasma yet-but used gas discharge to trigger phospor for the raster and had x and y electrodes in a flat sealed panel--to drive them.(like a modern PDP). But nothing ever came of the announcement evidently.

Saw it in a 1957 or 1958 RE magazine.

I have one of the Aopen AX4B-533 motherboards with the Sovtek tube. It was a really solid board but obsolete now and sitting in a box on a shelf.
