Your rig is spec'ed for 6L6's period. What follows after that designator in
US tubes is strictly the the bulb size and shape.
You take your chances with any import tubes.
The 5881 is a direct swap also.

Would Sovetek 6L6WXT+ priced at $24 for a matched pair be a good
replacement for 6L6GB's? They are supposed to be modeled after the
RCA 6L6GC "blackplate," the Sovtek 6L6WXT+ features larger plate
dimensions and improved grid structure for increased power handling
capabilities. The 6L6WXT+ also features mica spacers with metal
springs to eliminate tube rattle and microphonics.
My rig is spec'd for 6L6GB's.
Thanks
