Good news indeed! There was a scare going around that the GU74b's were
getting scarce and that no more would be made.

Subject: [TenTec] 4cx800s - GU74b
I was a little loose with the terminology when I posed the question on the
Alpha forum. My 99 uses GU74bs and that is what Alpha evidently will be
providing again. It is good news for those of us with an investment in
amps using the tubes. By the way, when I think of a 1500 watt amp I think
of something like an Alpha - 1500 watts all day long into a dummy load at
Dayton - although an occasional RTTY contest is the closest any of us will
likely come to that. There have been lots of fine amps in the last decade
using the GU74b and hopefully with tubes available again the amps will
remain viable for a long time.
