Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available?

does anyone know if there is a source to purchase these tubes?

I am thinking about buying an amp which uses this tube and have found no online store which have them.

I also heard that Svetlana no longer is making these

Have you inquired at Cary, Justlisten to confirm that this is the case? I would also check with the tube seller, it may just be a typo.

It's likely not a typo. There were 3 versions of the tube, 572-3, 572-30, and 572-160. The second number specified the mu (Gain) of the tube. on the -3 is useful as an output tube. All 3 types are no longer made, AFAIK. These have been in short supply for some time now.

Old thread, but Cary & New Sensor (headquarters is on Long Island) both have the tube. New Sensor was easy to get to via the phone and stated they had almost 1000 of the 572-3 in stock. $300 for a pair. About a year is all you get from a tube in my experience. Too bad. Nice sounding and very powerful at 20wpc.
