I stumbled on these tubes, but what are they? Do they have equivalents in US/Europe?
This one looks like it's built like a tank! $161.91

Only few ceramic transmitters on this website, maybe elsewhere.
Here's a big beggar:

Seems the move to solid state is cutting the price of tube tech.

It's been said that tubes are tough, but a transistor is always only one half-cycle away from destruction!

Maybe we should all buy a 811 / 572B linear while supplies last??
