He has a spare 7J and would like to use it to get his set rolling again.
I did come across a Transvision that had a 7JP4 installed in it, worked fair.

7JP4 2nd anode is 5 to 6KV, 7EP4 2nd anode is 2KV.
A 7GP4 is a closer match only requires 3KV, but harder to find than 7JP4. Usually found in Philco 48-700 sets.

Better temp tube is a 5BP4, easier to find than either of the others and is electrically identical to the 7EP4
