Ken,

All of the video amp tubes are power pentodes.  The 12V fil types are 9
pin.
e.g. 12BY7, 12HG7, 12GN7.  The latter two are frame grid types.

I have built QRP transmitters with all three of them.  The high gain of the
frame grid really helps to keep crystal current down.  All video amp class
tubes have good isolation.
