  I used to have a handful of those submini tubes
but I can't find one now. If
 anybody has a spare, even a dead one, that they could send us it would be
 nice to have one on display. Right now the only tube era parts we have are a
 core plane and an IBM tube circuit with a bunch of miniature tubes - mostly
 9 pin. The rectifier had been replaced at some point with a solid state
 component that plugged in a 9-pin socket. 
I have a few - remind me later to send one.

I have some however they are of the types used for RF applications AKA 5899
and 5636.  Really nice devices and I've already used some for  A pair of 
recievers and I plan to use a few more for a small transmitter (1-2W).

Various internet sellers still stock many of them and the prices are not
unreasonable for NOS (new unused old stock).
