The 6C33C has only one pin that connected to both plates. Since I use ½ of 6C33C in my MF and UpperBass channels then I theoretically burn just a half of the tube. Pretend that the right part of cathode, plate and grid, along with right filament has already worn. Then, could I instead of trashing the tube to flip it to the left filament and continue to use the unused part of the cathode, plate and filament? Theoretically it might be the case but the entire tube now should be filed up with the residual gas of right triode operation and the getter should be greatly eaten. Still, can I somehow take advantage of the fact that I still have a brand spanking new heater and anode in left triode or the tube might be considered gone for good?
