Charles, I would not be surprised if it's Svetlana.  Ameritron uses
811s' in both of there 811 amps.  The only other 811 amp that I know of
is made by Ten-Tec and I'm not quite sure what tube they use.  Cetron
BTW, also makes a good 811, but Svetlana is probably the best, high
gain, good fit and finish.  Quality workmanship and tolerances. 73's de
