Excellent Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Replacement tube of choice for Ameritron AL-572 and similar amplifiers. I have no difficulty getting 1200 watts out with about 70 watts drive.
Other varieties of 572s have had difficulty with higher voltages, and arc frequently. Very pleased with these.

Great contest tubes Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Purchsed a premium grade matched pair of Taylor 572B tubes from RF Parts and have been running them hard for contests at 600 watts output for two days at a time with no turn off. Great reliable pair of tubes. When contest is over, back goes my Penta Lab 572B tubes for dx and rag chewing. Pleased with both sets of 572B tubes.

Good power, nice price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I'm no tube expert, but i ordered a matched pair from RF Parts and received them a few days later. I'm using them in a SB-200 and get around 600w out on most bands, less on 10m.

I can't give it a 5 because one of the tubes came with a scratch on it. Not just a scratch in the paint, but in the actual glass itself. Doesn't go very deep and doesn't seem to be a fracture. Tube works, so i'll just be careful with it.

So Far, So Good Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Just purchased a matched quad from RF Parts and installed them in my AL811H (no extra power just greater durability). They installed with no problem and delivered normal power levels with the same drive. Only difference I noticed was "no cherry red plates!"

The tubes themselves come with test numbers/results, lot and serial numbers which must be recorded and submitted if and when warranty action is required. Overall, I am impressed, even though I am certainly not pushing these tubes to their limits.
