6SN7 equivalent's, help need it


Guys, I found NOS 6CC1 Tesla's and they look just like any general 6SN7 tube, but need to be sure if they can be used as DIRECT replacement of 6SN7 type.
Also look for data sheet of them, cant find a single thing so far.

I don't think that a 6CC1 is a 6SN7 sub. Excersize caution, a lot of tubes look like 6SN7s, so don't let the bottle and a double triode plate structure convince you. Amongst other things the pinout may not be correct and you could do a number on your amp not just fry the tube.
I have compiled a partial list of 6SN7 subs. Note not all are exactly electrically equivalent.
