 You spawned my  curiousity, Ian, and a quick look confirmed that you are
 absolutely correct, re the VT-62.
 
 If the 801 isn't included on your set up
 chart, Wayne, perhaps the similar type 10 or type 210 is
 included.

  The VT-52 is the same as a
 45S, which
  is a 45 with different
  filament voltage/current.
  
  The VT-62 is an 801, I think.
