Always was curious why they used that type as an output, and not a 6V6 or some more common type for that, but I can't really complain that they did.

I was talking to a man that used to buy and sell war surplus electronics. When I inquired about the 12A6, he replied that they were sold for something like ten cents each, in quantity.
The 211's were sold for less than $1.00 each.
