The Motorola T-44A- series used one 2C39 as a tripler/driver and the other as the final amplifier. Towards the end, Motorola started supplying 3CX100A-5 / 7289 tubes instead of the glass 2C39 tubes.
During my junior year at Georgia Tech, when I worked for the Motorola Service Station in Atlanta, Georgia, they had a service contract with a garbage pickup service that used the T-44AAV-3000 series equipment. Being "low man on the totem pole", I usually got the "honor" of working on those units. I swear that the drivers had more, well aged, garbage in the cabs of the trucks than in the back! After working on some of those trucks, everyone gave me a "wide berth"!

That's the only thing I have ever seen that used them.
