I seem to recall seeing a couple of these.
By this time the 8080 processor was around and many things
were newly introduced, including silicon diodes.
I remember exchanging a few HV rectifier tubes with diode
equivalents.  Imagine confused packaging of semiconductors
in a form factor that bridges the tube to transistor age.

Didn't you have selenium rectifiers, too.? Inhaling selenium dioxide in
small amounts can be good for throat infections, but don't overdose!
