The 6AQ6 double diode and high μ triode was designed for broadcast radio use as detector, AGC and first audio amplifier.
The pin connections and characteristics match the 6AT6 with the exception of heater current. The 6AT6 has a 6.3 V 0.3 A heater whereas the 6AQ6 has a 0.15 A heater consumption.
Thanks to Mark Mallison for sending the images.
The thin glass tube envelope is  mm in diameter and, excluding the B7G base pins, is  mm tall.
Reference: Data-sheet. Type 6AQ6 was first introduced in 1948. See also 1948 adverts.
