Matt,
Not much to go on. I have listings for Machlett Hg vapor, half-wave 
rectifiers. All are brutes
with 5 V filaments between 7.5 and 30 Amps. PIVs from 10 kV to 22 kV and 
anode currents from 50 to 400 surge Amps...like for a good TC.  :-))
Got anymore info? No pictures or phjysical data given. 

Cheers,
Ralph Zekelman



<< I don't know. There is no label except for the Machlett. However, other 
 Tungar tubes I have are smaller and bulb shaped, while  these are ~12 in. 
 x~2in cylinders with a HEAVY, internally threaded terminal on top. I would 
 hate to try finding their capabilities by toasting one.>>>>>
