    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.
