- Yes they are. And as Tom said, it was designed to be "cheap". But it works, and I only paid $50 for it from a very old amateur dropping out of the hobby. He probably would have just given it to me,

- At the end of the day, the 572B isn't that good a tube for HF. OK, it 'gets by', but its structure isn't that good. As far as I can determine, it first appeared in the early 1950's as a zero bias aud

- I do not think the power supply of the AL-811H can handle four 572's. This is why when you change from 811's you don't see that big of a power output jump in the AL-811H. The power supply is at the e
