Re: What's the rarest tube you ever used?

The rarest tube I have used is the 7044, which isn't rare at all in the
sense that it is common and cheap, with plenty of computer pulls
available. But hardly anyone else uses it. It's a sort of taller 5687,
which is more common, though while checking my statement in the
previous sentence, I see the 5687 described as a tube with "an
underground following"; you have to wonder what that makes the 7044.
