For grins, I connected a 6AQ5 to a constant current power supply set to 600ma and measured the voltage drop across the heater. The heater voltage stabilized at about 10.5 volts! This is indeed really pushing it for a 6.3 volt tube... I suggest that proper 5AQ5 be ordered as well.

Ok, I'll have to get the proper tubes ordered I guess. Hopefully they aren't going to be too expensive.
