  I googled 6977 tube holland and found this:
  
  Scarcer is the DM160, also called 6977. This is my
  candidate for the world's smallest glass electronic tube--barely 3/4" long
  and as wide as two matchsticks. Philips, and their US division Amperex,
  tried to market the 6977 in the late 1960s as a logic monitor for digital
  computers. Unfortunately some radio collectors have found that it can be
  substituted for01As in radios, by soldering it into a 4-pin UX base. It makes a very nice
  low-mu triode. Supplies of the 6977 are expected to dry up quickly. There
  was a DM21, a large device with an octal base and a 2-bladed round eye. It
  had a low-power filament like the other DMs, for use on 1.5v battery power.
  
  
  and a link below w/ pin outs
