No need to apologise , just listen to some friendly advice for a change :)
I'd suggest building that amp as 6AH4 then maybe try 4P1L in future , octal/loctal sockets usually have similar dimensions and the biasing is very similar . It should just drop in with a different fil supply , I doubt AC will be quiet enough . 4P1L has a wimpy filament and as a result , can be microphonic but damping the chassis and running the fils under rated voltage helps . You'll get about 1.8 watts with a very nice first watt with a 4-5k OPTX . 12AY7 is a nice driver for 4P1L
