Want to buy 8072 tube, socket, heatsink, and associated hardware.
Seems that this was common in some kind of VHF land mobile setup.

Found this on the web:


RCA GE and Motorola used the 8072/4657, (the same exact tube without
the
anode cooler fins) in their base, mobile and repeater stations.
The tube was held in place with a heat sink that surrounded the tube
and
then was fastened to a larger heat sink with a mica wafer for high
voltage
insulation......


And this too:

====================== Start Clip ==
Here are some other hints that may help you out with the tune-up of
the
MASTR PRO TX strip.

When you replace the 8072 or just remove it from it's socket, before
you
re-install it make sure that the screen ring contacts are all clean
and
slightly bent in towards the center of the tube socket.

This is very very important to have a good connection to these fingers
that
come in contact with the screen ring, because a poor connection can
cause a
very high reading on position " F " when transmitting, which will
quickly destroy the grid of
the 8072. If you see this happen, an oscillating condition is existing
in the PA cage
most likely from a poor contact condition or the 8072 is not firmly
seated
in it's socket.
======================= End Clip ==

I don't know what the MASTR PRO is or what the GE, RCA, etc names
were but I could use the 8072, socket, heatsink, etc. This might
help in a boatanchor restoration.

Is this, like, land mobile junque?

Yes. MASTR PRO was the GE product.
