I just had a brainstorm on the 6X5 issue, since I'm studying the schematic of my 20A1 chassis Admiral and it has the silly 6X5GT on the LV side...

Could I use the guts of a "brightener" (Or preferably the type designed to work-around H-K shorts without the whole voltage changing part.) to just float the heater supply to the tube? Alternative options are just find a small >600mA 6.3v transformer core and tuck it up underneath the lower chassis. (There's so much room that I feel like I could tuck an entire AA5 set in there too!)

For my 1941 Zenith chairside I'm probably going to go with the multiple fuses option, since that chassis is much more dense than the lower on the Admiral.
