At $100.00 - $120.00 a pop from Dr Alex, they are still dirt cheap.

Get yourself 10 of them now, while you can and don't worry about shrinking supplies down the track.

OR

Send the amplifier to me and let me do the worrying for you.

With the price of the GU-74b's going up and the supply shrinking and is almost turning out to become
yet another 3cx800, i have the following questions

a) What would be a good tube to replace the 4cx800/GU-74b in an Acom 1000?
b) Minimal retrofit/gut down work
c) Assuming the retrofit would be compatible to let Acom put out a new firmware

I guess selling retrofit kits would ensure
a) Acom generates some revenue or is a parallel value chain
b)Builds confidence among its customers
c)Keeps the resale price of the Acom's stable over time.

Any thoughts?
