[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.
