SB-200 users: a question.

[Glen Zook]

Cetron or ORIGINAL Taylor 572B are the best, but, unfortunately, not that easy to obtain these days.  I was VERY fortunate that the SB-200 that I acquired a couple of months ago (to finish the re-creation of my 3rd primary station from the late 1960s until the early 1970s) not only had a pair of Cetron tubes in it but also came with a spare NOS Cetrons!

So I buy new ones now
 
WHERE do you buy new ones? What brand? How much for each? 
 
As far as I know, there have been no really GOOD new 572Bs made in the past 20 years or more. 
 
ALL Cetrons are at least that old by now.
 
None of my Cetrons were anywhere near new, even the best outputing less than 200 watts when tested. 
 
Taylors are made in China. Even those supposedly tested by RF Parts have QC issues.
 
Shuguangs have VERY poor QC, fully 75% failing within a short time after purchase.
