Hi
I was wondering if you knew what the diodes in a 6av6 are often used for? Could I use one as a point to apply feedback, and if so could I apply ac feedback only or would it need to have dc as well to work? Thank you!

Those are small signal diodes. The normal useage is that one functions as a simple, unbalanced AM demodulator, and that the other one serves as an AGC diode. sometimes (but not very often) they are used to implement a singly balanced demod. The 6AV6 was intended for use in AM BCB radios as a combined demodulator and first audio preamp.
The PRV and current ratings aren't all that high for those diodes, and aren't much useful for anything else.
