Record one vote for Cetron...I am working over a SB-200 for a friend. (HVPS problem)
The original Cetron tubes that came with the amp are still making rated power.
The date codes are 1976!

Check RF Parts Co. in California web site. They give the full scoop on 572-B's,
including warranty info. They have several brands, including the ones you mentioned.
