Anyone of a "certain age" will remember the late 70s Eimac magazine ad showing a toddler standing next to this tube, almost tall enough to reach the top of the thing.

The tube's filament alone draws over 10 kilowatts and has its own mini-water jacket separate from the pipe fittings on the anode.
Still wrapping my mind around a power supply delivering 20,000 Volts at 45 Amps.
Gotta figure the rebuild cost on this tube is kinda steep.
