You are correct.
So someone just shoved a tube in there thinking it would do. If a 6A8GT, yes, it might indeed work.
These 1940 Philcos are interesting animals. First produced with a 7J7 Loktal converter-oscillator, Philco later switched to the 6J8G, then back to the 7J7.
I suppose they ran short of 7J7 tubes during production and switched to 6J8G until they could get 7J7s again?
