For the sake of Accuracy.

6LX6 is not the same as 6LF6. Look it up on the internet.

6LF6 is the better tube.

1) LF6 is conservatively rated at 40 Watts plate disapation.

2) Inter electrode capacitances are slightly different

3) LX6 is the same as 8950 except heater voltage

4) LX6 is rated TOPS for 33 watts Plate disapation.

5) In color TV,s. Sometimes the horizontal circuit required adjustment

when changing from 6LF6 to 6LX6 & 27LF6 to 26LX6.

6) As an audio power tube. My feeling is. That the bias cannot be hot for

a LX6 due to the 33 watts plate disapation. 6LV6 35 watts plate

disapation. 6MH6 35 watts plate dissapation MAX.
