GREAT find!!!! I always wanted to get hold of one of those. I think it's the only pre-all transistor set with OSD. Besides that, the Magnavox Star System of '74-ish is the first, as far as I remember. Sony didn't come out with OSD until '81, with the rare & costly 30" console KV-3000R.

That's an odd envelope, if I recall. The only two swappable Japanese and US tubes of that era, would be the 490xxxB22 and 19xxP22. Maybe with a little fooling around with the mounting, you could get an 18V in there, but I'd try for a correct one first.
