The 8974 has an 18v, 1.3kA filament.  That's a big one alright.  
cheers, John.

Yesterday I visited a facility which is decommissioning, and there 
were eight ~50 MHz pulsed amplifiers, each with a Eimac 8974 tetrode 
(1 MW output CW) to be surplused. Same tube used to be called the 
X-2159. Anyone want to build a really big rig? 14 inch output coax.
