Notes

The 6CK6 is a miniature power pentode with high transconductance (10000 umhos) in a Noval base. Muiderkring lists EL83 as European equivalent.
GE rates max anode dissipation at 9W, max screen voltage 300V, max plate voltage 300V.
Typical operation at Va=250V, Vg2=250V, Vg=-5.5V: Ia=36mA, Ig2=5mA, gm=10000 umhos, Rp=130kΩ.
