If 6A3's are needed and unaffordable, without changing the radio, an adapter could be made using a single octal socket and two 4-pin tube bases to allow the substitution of a single 6BX7GT/A. Though the latter doesn't have as much plate dissipation, it would operate class-B and be fine at ordinary volume levels.
