Hi All - No, not a 5763, I'm looking for a 5736.  Its a Westinghouse
large external copper anode triode from the early 1950s.  Can run 5,000
volts at 1 amp on the plate.  Has a gain of 12 so you would need a 400
watt driver to get its full 5 kw out.  Big, heavy, and  a neat looking
bookend.

Was used in several commercial applications decades ago.
