Sorry, I don't have a picture, but it's a big rectifier tube, coke-bottle shaped, with a 54 in a diamond printed on the glass. The only other thing I can see printed on it is 5"mu"3 ("mu" = the Greek letter). Thanks to anyone in the know!

=C= is a Svetlana
The character is cyrillic...
Lots of info in the Interweb about translating russian tube designators..
Probably a 5 volt heater rectofrier, roughly equivalent to a 5Z4.
