These tubes are indeed available all over Europe. Another one is the
GS35-b, a 1.5 KW plate dissipation triode that has had some coverage on
the reflector as well. Very similar characteristics. It looks like this
tube is the same as an GS31-b with the exception of the anode cooler,
which can be removed if needed. Sells for about 60 USD and will easily
do 1.5 KW on 2 m or even 70 cm. As far as I know, these tubes are not
made by Svetlana. Not that that matters too much, because if they were
made by Svetlana we would be paying Eimac prices by now.
