Yes, that's what I thought, curious mixture of an octal, (2) six pin and (6) loctals. Were radios being supplied with the tubes by then? I have a Philco 610 that uses a type 84 rectifier with a type 42 final audio, but since I had the 1942 Philco long before, I thought the type 84 was unusual, never having seen one before.
