[Milsurplus] BC-9 Project: ACCURATE Data on Western Electric VT-1?

I am thiiiiis close to firing-up the BC-9.  Got to
find a better sub for the RF Osc/Det.  The 01A
works fine in the audio amplifier but lacks the gain
to oscillate in the RF stage.  With a change in bias
battery, a triode-connected 6AQ5 will oscillate but
I would like to find a better match.

Does an accurate datasheet for the Western Electric 
VT-1 tube still exist?  Google is no help at all.  
There is a ton of incorrect stuff out there that gets 
repeated and repeated, mostly equating this 
01A-like tube with the 203 transmitting triode 
or listing a few specs that are completely bogus, 
like the wrong filament voltage etc.  
Anybody?  
Thanks.  73 DE Dave AB5S
