About Power - Beam (NOT sweep) tubes

Tubes fall into this type if they are Beam Power tubes but NOT "HorizontalSweep" or "VerticalSweep" or "PowerBeamBroadcast" or "PowerBeamLow". They may contain another section, but the beam power section takes priority in assigning the whole tube to this type. The max plate voltage and dissipation also must be under 1000 volts and under 100 watts. The plate watts also must be over 10 watts to qualify.
