6A5

An odd tube - very similar to the 6B4G.
The majority of the ones I've seen appear to be as you described: a center-tapped 6B4; 'though some have what I can only describe as a 'sleeve' around the heater: which I assume to indicate an attempt at approximating an indirectly-heated 6B4.

Please note: I am not an expert in tube history, nor am I feigning knowledge about the evolution of IDHTs; I am merely providing anecdotal experience about the 6A5.
