Talking 38HE7 used in AM radio

AM radio using TV compactron tubes

Oh yes, it used a 38HE7 Output tube if that's any help
The 38HE7 (and the similar 38HK7) were widely used as horizontal output/damper tubes in series-string portable TVs of late '60s through '70s vintage.
This is rather off thread, but I used compactrons 11AR11, 8B10, and 38HK7 to build/ modify an AM radio. And another using a 58HE7, 12AC10 and 16BQ11. In that one, the heaters added up to about 85V, thus allowing the use of a 1N4004 diode to run the heaters off the powerline.
