HH Scott used Compactrons in their last tube tuner, the 370 and the 345 receiver...

Interesting... Would this include re-purposing color demod triple-triodes 6MD8 and 6AC10?

True also for Fisher receivers with 7868 output, 9-pin novar.

The H-output tubes (6KD6, 6JS6 etc) do appeal to Ham transmitter builders too.
