I see only one 6V6. However, there are two 6SL7 tubes. These
were normally used for converter service but were also used in a
number of volume limiters. Balanced limiters resist low frequency
parasitics known as thumping. I also think measuring the filters
would be useful, they might be low and high pass rather than
sharp band pass filters.
I wonder if it was part of a diversity system of some sort
for tone telegraph.
For some happy hours of time filling you could open it and
trace the wiring.
