Also for someone who isn't savvy when it comes to tubes, can someone tell me what distinguishes the 1957 Footscray from other similar brimar tubes? I saw (sold out) tubes on other websites that look almost identical in description and appearance that are much cheaper than the one from pulsetubestore.
You may want to pose this question on the "Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions" thread. That's where the Footscrayzies seem to be hanging out for now!

1956 Footscray is a triple mica tube with a square getter(best tube for cv4033)
1957 Footscray is the same but with an O getter. (Second best cv4033)
1958 Rochester is identical to the number 2 tube but made in a different factory after Footscray burnt down.
All Rochester tubes after 1958 went to a 2 mica build with an O getter. Still a great sounding but not on the level above.
