   Which is correct, the 5763 is a small power pentode similar to a 6CL7
or 12BY7, but beefer.  (more heater power as I recall)

   A number often confused is the 5762 a 5 kW triode with 3 copper straps
for the center tapped directly heated filament.  The grid is a flange around
the "not anode" end of the glass "plate insulator."  Without any pins.

   I have no idea what is described below.
