[Boatanchors] A Tube Puzzle

[Scott Johnson]

The 2C51 uses a different part number convention, the 2 is a class of
filament power, the c denotes a triode, and the 51 demotes the fifty first
tube in that particular class  (think 2C39, 3E29,7C21, 4E27, IB22, etc.

Hi,

My understanding was that standard tube conventions had the leading
digit(s) as the filament voltage:

1B3   = 1 V
2X2   = 2 V
5Y3   = 5 V
6X5   = 6 V
12AX7 = 12 V
35W4  = 35 V
50C5  = 50 V
117L7 = 117 V

etc.

How does a 2C51W dual triode fit in? It has a 6 V filament?
