Actually, I wasn't thinking of 12V: some are still in demand. I'd be looking at something like 36/40KD6 (as will be a small cadre of Beveridge aficionados), 35LR6, 24LQ6,40KG6, 42KN6 etc. Since you're considering a custom PT, the non-std filament shouldn't be an issue. Also, lower filament current will be easier on sockets.
