A couple of points that I might make for you in this case:
1: selling used tubes, especially w/ out a tester - As is, where is.
In other words, the tubes worked when I last used them, they have not been plugged into equipment since, and so should be in good (or excellent, or whatever you want to claim) shape (based on your last listen).

2: 'Did not work and produced a noise' Incompatible statement. If it did not work, it would not generate a noise.

3: '6p3SE tubes, which, roughly speaking, belong to the same family as the vintage Tung-Sol JAN-CTL-6SN7WGT/5881 tubes.' The Russian 6p3SE is a power tube, and often used as a 6L6 equiv. - like the 5881.
The 6SN7 is a medium mu, dual triode and used as either a driver tube for a power amp or a pre-amp tube - low level signal amplification.
Per the RCA receiving tube manual, Class A operation, Bias is 20mA.

IT IS NOT AN OUTPUT TUBE, and should not be used in the output section of ANY amplifier.

Feel free to reach out with any questions

Happy Listening
