It means valve, as I posted here: http://golbornevintageradio.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=5952&pid=64953#pid64953
Lawrence, 'tube' in English is short for Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) whereas 'tube' in American English is short for Vacuum Tube (VT) which, this side of the pond, we call a valve.
Using American terminology on a UK forum can be highly confusing, especially to members/readers with limited knowledge and should be actively discouraged. What you do behind closed doors is entirely up to you!
Of course, if you genuinely thought that 'Röhre' is the German for CRT, I apologise.
