6146B's are like 6146 and 6146A's, except they have a higher plate
disappation (35 watts instead of 25) and a slightly different screen
configuration. The grid to plate capacitance is nominally different.
(0.24 pf instead of 0.22)

You know, a lot of comparative specifications of various vacuum tubes is
listed in the ARRL Handbook. (Or, at least it used to be, my 1991 edition
has tables for transmitting tubes only) If you are into resurrecting
older vacuum tube equipment, a copy of an older issue of the handbook
might be quite useful, just for the tables, base diagrams and other
information.
