[Amps] SOURCE FOR 3CX800'S

[Carl]

Since when are they plentiful? Last I looked they were becoming extinct as 
Russian surplus ran out.

If they are in current production that would be great but converting a 
triode amp to tetrodes can be more trouble than its worth. The GU-74B (600W 
in reality) socket is huge.
