   Try:  http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/018/g/GU5B.pdf

for a bilingual data sheet.

   Exceeding the maximum anode voltage may not do much if the vacuum 
is good, but this tube is rated at 5 kV max below 30 MHz and I would 
think that would be sufficent for anything you have in mind.
