Bendix 5993's are great tubes, and are in the 6X4 family.Then again, you have about as good a chance plugging a 6X5 octal into the socket for a 6X4 :)
While the 5993 has 6X4 like ratings, it is a 9 pin minature socket base with a rather unique pinout. The 6X4 is a 7 pin tube.
It's a superb tube for DIY projects however!
