It looks like every single tube has a 6 volt equivalent. The 6W6 is a close one, and the 6L6 is even in the same line. Both pin out the same it seems. So I could simply put in a PT with an HV winding around 160 volts and a 6.3 filament winding, change the tubes with 6 volt equivalent ones, and call it a day?

After figuring the amp ratings for the windings, that is. Am I missing something?

Maybe even make a diode rectifier to replace the 6X5?
