[ARC5] sub for 12A6

[Clare Owens]

When I get home today I'll look at my ARA BCB that I put 6V tubes into back
in 1959 or 1960.  I think I put a 6F6 in there in place of the 12A6.  Pin
out and filament current are the things.  I also did that 28V dynamotor
conversion where you move one LV brush 90 degrees.  The radio worked OK for
many hours on a 12V supply until the big PS cap failed and blew tar onto
the ceiling of my bedroom.  But then I bought the first of several
transistor radios and the ARA went into a box for many years.  I also still
have that first transistor - an Emerson 888.
