Pardon me, another Tube ID Inquiry!

Hello,

I bought 3 5Y3G-ST tubes and received them today. One is obviously not a 5Y3. It has no identifying tube type mark and testing it with the 5Y3 settings of my tester, it goes out of scale!

Here's the tube..









Info I can find on the tube is that it is made by RCA with 61-09 number, black dual plates, full round mica support at the top and bottom getter.

Could this be a 5V4 or a 5U4? Any comments for those using one regarding its performance?


Thanks for your help and I really appreciate your input.

regards,

Abe
