OK, I didn't know about that one. I assume it's a monochrome unit (the 
DY802 won;'t supply enough current for a colour CRT (except possibly as a 
focus rectifier [1])), in which case there's no real need for EHT 
stabilisation.

[1] At least one colur TV in Europe, I think it was the Philips G6 
chassis, used an EY51 for the focus rectifier, along with the normal 
GY501 for the final anode.
