you would have to do modifications to use them. They are not pin compatible. If you're willing to do those modifications then this opens up a number of tubes as I noted below to another of your questions; 6BG6G, 807. These were both used by Westrex and Western Electric and even McIntosh in some of their industrial amps used for mo-pic theatres.
I think you now need to read as much as you can get your hands on about making modifications. Then try hard to learn how to solder well. Find a ham radio operator that might teach you or maybe some vo-tech school in your community could give you a crash course. Here is a link about Cornell Dubilier Oil capacitors avaliable from Allied radio. Ideally this is type of cap one should use as the first cap after a 5R4. They are not cheap!
