3CU3 draws a bit more filament current (280 mA vs 220). It also has a bare filament, as opposed to the 3A3 which uses an indirectly heated cathode.

Close enough for testing, but I would suggest getting the right tube. TV high voltage tubes are in limited demand, and generally sell at dirt cheap prices.
