>>An 811a to 572b conversion requires some of the following

>>The 572b is often larger in size.
>>The zsac bias voltage will have to be reset. If it's a zener
>>diode, you'll have to replace it. Often the "string of diodes"
>>method becomes unwieldy when higher bias voltages
>>are required. 24 volts is much more practical to obtain with
>>one hefty zener diode.
>>
>>There have been reports of stability problems with
>>"higher gain 572b's." The conversions I've done gave no
>>indications of parasitics because Nichrome Suppressors
>>were installed during the retrofit.
>>I used NOS Jan tubes...
