has tried rolling the 805 tube, what were your results, and--most importantly--where did you track them down?
At the time ebay and retro tube stores/wreckers that specialize in old tube radio transmitters.
The best sounding 805 I had was by far the RCA Black Plate ones over United Electronic, Amprex,Shuguang, GE.
And if you find some NOS with loose top cap or has come away, all is fixable by drilling out the top cap solder to the size of the tube wire, re gluing the top cap back with a very HT two part glue called 24hr Devcon-B then 24hr later re-soldering the wire on the top cap hole.
