I have a DuMont stereo chassis from this time period. It used a tube type tuner/preamp with a solid-state power amplifier. It doesn't seem like 50EH5 would be used as an output tube in a larger unit like this.

Thanks Chad,
It is -20C outside, so I did not spend lots of time on it. Here are some more pictures of tube replacement charts... I don't know any of the tubes in the TV section, but Radio section is sure tubed.
