The 2X1000A doesn't look anything like that. The entire section surrounding the plate is a massive finned heatsink with a cap on top. It looks more like one of those coaxial metal-ceramic tubes, but with a glass envelope instead and 4 pin base like the one above. From memory, it's only about

I powered the filament and tested it with a low voltage AC source. It works but definitely not impressive as the glow of the cathode is totally hidden so it doesn't even make a good desk lamp. 3-1000Zs work better as light bulbs. ;-)
