Confused
Picking a tube by number of pins is usually testament to someone's deep knowledge of the subject.
However there is one posible exception: in some AC-DC radios instead of a diode rectifier they use a triode plugged as a diode. It is a 5 pin tube. And most triodes with 5 pins (and they all have the same pinout) will work when plugged in.
If this was the case, the guys knew what they were doing.
