The glass bulb of a traditional 807 is ST shape, looking remarkably
like the curvy beer glasses.

Now, the milspec guys who only know 807W's wouldn't get that :-).

My latest non-390A project involves 807's, 5AR4's, OD3's,
some 6SN7's, and a lot of transformer/choke iron. Not the beer
kind of 807 although I think I will invite a couple of helpful
buddies over when it's all done to enjoy BOTH kinds!
