Hi Tony, Pete et. al.
    I agree with Pete.  Invest in a 220 volt line and find an L-7 or
similar.  A Drake L-7, an Ameriton AL80Aor B or Heath SB1000 will work also,
and give you about 1000 watts out for 70 watts drive.  I prefer to stay away
from the TL922, as I think the bandswitch is light.
    However, if you want to stay with 110 Volts, look at the TenTec 811 amp.
Does OK.  I have a friend with 572B's in his and they hold up.  The problem
is finding good glass tubes.  Most of the Chinese stuff is questionable.
    Check with RFParts and Toms Tubes - they are both on line.
