I think you're right - that may be a ceramic/carbon block anode too -
indicating high power.

Looking at some of his other valves (sorry, tubes), they may be old eastern

If you want to do some valve pR0n then this site is amazing:

Sadly Americans call them tubes - so the old Skoda joke doesn't work.....

!!! Ancient Joke Warning !!!
"Have you heard about the new 16 valve Skoda?"
'Wow 16 valves!'
"Yeah, 8 in the engine, 8 in the radio"
((OK it's over now))
