I went to my buddy's shop today and although I didn't score a 6X5WGT, I did find a couple possible replacements. One is a very stubby GE tube with the 'X' shaped plates that looks like a late production tube and the other is what appears to be a NOS Sylvania which also has 'X' like plates. (Think one of those old, cast-iron Railroad cross-bucks) Both checked excellent on his Jackson tube tester, so I brought them home to try out. The 6X5GT currently in the radio is one of those with the plates sandwiched together so tight you can't tell there are two plates. He also had a little 1939 GE ready to go for me, so win-win there. I tried to get a picture of the tubes, but I think a new camera is in order soon! Here is what I got:
