Hi Gary,
Nice job on the shield modification for the 6H6. Fortunately, my 37-116 uses the square shields also, but they are big enough to accept the metal tubes.
However, Planigan's post made me think of another idea. In the past, I have made an adaptor to use a 1619 tube in place of a 45 tube by using an old 45 tube base and an octal socket installed in it. Maybe you could do the same thing. Just use an old octal glass tube base and install a new octal socket on top of that base. The adaptor would allow enough clearance to get past the shield mount? Oh well, you know what they say about idle minds, lol!
