[Hallicrafters] 5894 Tube for the HA-6 Transverter

[David C. Hallam]

I guess my spatial orientation must be off today.  I am sitting here looking
at a 5984.  With the base down, the glass envelope vertical and the anode
connections on top, the anodes are also vertical with the outer edges of
each anode turned out by about 30 degrees.
