The final PA uses a TH628 double ended tetrode in a cavity circuit. It is still in design at present. The power supply will be working soon, charging a 225 uF capacitor bank. Here is a link to the tube and the amplifier from some time ago. It has changed since then. Also, a link to the tube manufacturer info:

The important thing to note is that 'everything scales' from an 807 to a TH628. Just more fireworks if I make boo boos.
