The BC-375 used the original 211 tube which was one of the first high power
tubes to be built, period.  Sweep tubes are not designed for the plate
dissipation (continuous) that is anywhere close to what a 211 can do. They
were designed for pulse or sweep circuit which about one third or so of the
duty cycle is not drawing current.  You surely have two diff types.

211's have been made by many overseas companies through the years.  A 807 or
811 might be the closest you can get.  And you would need a triode which
sweep tubes are not.
