Any use for 6CL8A??

Found a few at work. Just wondering If anyone knows of a good use for them. Apparently it's a triode and tetrode in 9pin form??
Actually, it's a tetrode and a triode. It's an oddball tube. You might be able to use the tetrode sort of like an EF86 for the first stage, and design a triode stage around the other half. The triode has a gain of 40. That is about the same as a 12AY7 but it appears otherwise to be more similar to a 12AT7.
OTOH, you might use a couple to build a low wattage amp with the triodes as the outputs (Ra=5K) and the tetrodes as the preamps.
If these were mine, they would look like something I'd use for eBay fun. Start the auction at $0.01.
