The 14B6 Loctal valve is a later issue of the 7C6. It's a 12.6v, 150ma version of the same basic valve. It's a perfect plug-in replacement.
Of course, it's an American thing to come up with a range of valves, where the heaters add up to our mains voltage to save the cost of a dropping resistor.
BTW, the 7volt and 14 volt loctal valves, the heater voltage is 6.3 and 12.6 volts respectively.
Another Dave, chiming in.
