The KT33C is described as a beam pentode, virtually another name for the beam tetrode. This is an audio device and the heater has a centre tap, suggesting that 26 Volts at 300 mA is another specification for the heater.
In single ended use the load impedance is given as 3,000 Ohms. For push pull the input voltage peak to peak would be 44 Volts, the load impedance would be 4,000 Ohms, and the ratings are given for Class AB1.
The classic envelope is 43 mm in diameter and, excluding the IO base pins, is 104 mm tall.
References: Data-sheet & 1043. Type KT33C was first introduced in 1939. See also 1939 adverts.
