Help pick a tube for my new VTTC

Hey guys,

Building a new VTTC (my second)

Have all the parts I need cept the tube.
It needs to handle MOT X 2 Voltage
Needs to have a small footprint.
Tube and socket needs to be readily available (always get 2-3 eventually so I have spare(s))

The whole coil is being mounted on a piece of lexan 12 X 16"
Have the small MOT, Plate Cap (3 Mica's), and grid leak (60K @ 50W) mounted (grid leak can be changed easily)
Also cheap would be a bonus but I am willing to lay out $100.00+ for a new or used tube.

Any suggestions?

One that comes to mind is the 4-65 but it isn't highly available.
If any of you have suggestions (or tube/socket set for sale or trade ) let me know!
I am moving forward on this project, need a tube!
