Tony is correct. I sell Tesla type ECC-83s to the audio tweaks. It is the
functional equivalent ( except better ) of a 12AX7 dual triode. The filament
on the ECC is on pins 4 and 5 with a center-tap connected to pin 9 such that
you can run the filament at either 6.3 or 12.7 Volts.

Best regards, Steven
