Amen.  
?  Every post to the AMPS group  from each and every Juno user rather 
obviously subjects all group members to Spam.  So when is Bill Fisher 
going to put Juno on the unacceptable word list along with the N-word?  
Hows about it Bill?.

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