Yup. According to my 1975 ARRL Handbook, the 6883 is a 6146/6146A with
12-volt filaments. The specs are practically identical, except for the
filament voltage.

It also lists a 6159B, which has 25-volt filaments.

I thought a SB-102 was designed for 6146B's, which have a slightly higher
plate disappation (35W versus 25W) and other spec differences.
