Found Nuvistors interesting also, a few years back I found that the American Mercury space missions of the 1960's used them and that hooked me!
Discovered the parallel Soviet Bloc use of their equivalents which are a bit more user friendly having flying lead termination. A socket for conventional pinned ones can be hard to find and rather costly.
The Triodes equivalent to type 7586 are available from European sellers and are type 6C51H-V (V= rugged) ISTR the Cyrillic is 6S51N-V
Differing types available inc Tetrodes with top cap connection.
