Are PCC189/7ES8 tubes useable in place of 6DJ8?


I've seen old stock tube dealers on Ebay claiming that the PCC189/7ES8 can be substituted for 6DJ8s as a drop-in replacement. I've also read that this shouldn't be done.
Does anyone here know, for sure? Any experience? Thanks!

Hhmmm.... That's about what I thought. I've been using the PCC88/7DJ8 with very good results as an alternative to my Ediswan 5358s when I want more extension on top. It's just that the PCC189s are sooo cheap on Ebay. It's hard not to try them. Thanks guys for the input. Much appreciated.
