Perfect, thanks.

That is a Model 80, no question about it.

You cannot use a 77 tube in a 36 socket, or vice versa, because the two have different bases. A 36 has 5 pins while the 77 has 6.

Did you media blast that chassis? What kind of paint did you use on it?

Oh, and complete instructions for posting photos are here:
