I have an old raider, an early one, that's missing the keying tube. It does not take a 6 or 12aq5 as the socket is bigger. I've looked all over the net but no dice.
 

OK. Let me clarify.
It SHOULD be a 6AQ5. It SHOULD take a 7 pin socket.

as the socket is bigger

Bigger is a relative term. Does it have more than 7 pins? How many pins does it have?Does it have 5 pins like a 3-500Z with a large base socket-a 275 socket perhaps.

Can you provide a description of the tube socket? Maybe a picture?

There were amplifiers back in the day that used a tube with a 9-pin base for keying the relay. Browning, Golden Falcon and very,very-early Varmints come to mind.

Most popular was 6BQ5.

Never have seen a D&A that used a 9-pin keying tube. And if it's old enough, it could have been built differently from what I'm used to.
