I thought of that myself. While this transmitter is so simple it has
to be pretty generic, so there doesn't have to be an article about it, I
have seen "single tube" transmitters described in old magazines that
used something intended for AC/DC use, ie a power stage with a built in
rectifier that used a high filament voltage. I'm thinking 50L6, but I'm
not sure if that is right. I don't remember if there was something in an
octal package that ran off 117volts directly.

The 117L7 has a built-in diode section. Here's an xmtr made with one.
