Yes, there are!

But if they are suitable is another question.

I can serve you with data of these tiny tubes. They are probably developed
for space, missile and airborne fighter.

These are all Russian subminiature tubes of an very uncommon construction.
There are no grids, but rod to regulate the electrons, more or less at the
way of a gammatron, making the system very ruggedized.

extended at the forum of Radiomuseum.org

Always use the 6AS6 and not just any pentode.

wonder if any of the subminiature pentodes out there could be pressed into
service.  Due to the way the rod pentodes work, I think they wouldn't work
well.  I'm guessing the trick is how G3 causes the current to divide between
G2 and the plate.  I may have to grab some tubes and breadboard some stuff.

Let's see, a 1AG4 draws 1.25V at 40mA for the heater.  That's 50mW.  An
ordinary dekatron, at 450V and 500µA is 225mW.

Are there any submini pentodes with G3 pinned out separately?  Yup, the
CK511X is one.  More interestingly, the 8522 is listed as a "dual control"
pentode, like a 6AS6, although it draws the usual 6.3V @ 150mA for the
heater, same as a 6AS6/5725.  The folks on the bay claim a Russian 6J2P is
equivalent, I wonder.
