Looking closer at the data for the 6AT6, it seems that it IS being used for something in the set.

The tube is... a “Duplex-Diode High-Mu Triode”
The diode part is being used for something, but not sure what, or how, it goes down to the contrast control, and to the tuner ( not shown on sams schematic, but I can see the wire in photo page 6 0074-3 )

not really sure what this does however
