Just look at this diagram:
http://www.triodeel.com/dyna6bq5.gif
To switch between 6V6 (or 6AQ5) and 6BQ5, the cathode resistor
is changed from 250 to 130 ohms. This is a rough rule of thumb,
6BQ5's use about half the value of cathode resistor as 6V6 does.

You're correct Ned, but I would like to add a small thing:
To avoid that any unbalance in the duet of tubes might influence the bias
point of each tube, use 2 seperate kathode resistors of 250 Ohms / 3Watt.
