While I was doing some tube inventory, I came across what appears to 
be a sub for the 6HS6. I have several 6AH6 tubes which, depending on 
the cross ref direction, can be used but have never heard of anyone 
trying it.

The main differences appear to be the Mu, gain and interelectrode 
capacitance. Not sure if any would dramatically affect the operation 
in the assigned purpose for the 6HS6s. Any opinions? Oh, and the 6AH6 
is much cheaper today.
