[AMPS] 572B and an old FL2000B

[PAUL HEWITT]

Hello Tom
I'm not convinced that the 572 or the 811 was ever intended
for reliable operation above 20mhz and would never use
either of them there.  Didn't you post here a few months ago
telling us that improper grid grounding was the cause of the
3cx1200's(d7 & z7)instability and you had found a method to
ground it correctly?  What sockets are you using to get the
tube to oscillate?
