It would have to be done at a low power stage, because when you are reducing
the carrier, you're shifting current from the plate to the screen and the
screen on most tubes is not really designed to sink much current. But even
so, it would still require a tube with a hefty screen grid... the 6AU6
would not last very long in that service.

I don't know how nonlinear it is, but I'm prepared to set up a jig on the
bench and find out!
