Is This The Right Tube

[blown240]

I went to my local amp guy and swapped some 6V6 tubes for some 6L6.  I just realized that the tubes I got say 6N3C.

Is this a 6L6?

[Iannone]

No.

The 6N3 is a diode rectifier tube.

I am pretty sure that a 6N3 is not the same as a 6N3C. 

The 6N3 doesnt look like what I have. 

I know some say that the 6N3C is the same as a 6L6, but I wanted the advice from you guys here, because some places say they are different.

Google is your friend.

Hi
Or is it an 6P3-tube

The translation from Cyrillic to Western alphabet is a source of confusion here.

The Russian 6π3C translates to 6P3S.

The 6P3S is generally considered to be equivalent to the 6L6G.

The more robust 6P3S-E is approximately equivalent to the 6L6GC.

Yeah, looks like a power tube plate w/ a single filament.
