 Here's why I made that suggestion.  I have a Dentron 160-10L,  the
older brother to the clipperton.  It has a 2200 volt plate transformer
and was designed for 4 811a's .  The rather crude owners manual
advises the user to replace the 811a's with 572b's for mucho power/Qrm
!. I'm converting it for 2 572b's. 
 Info on the Web(AG6K ?) states that 811a's and 572b's are swappable.
I think the newer manufactured 811a's handle the higher voltages just
fine.
