[Heathkit] SB 200 Question

[Carl]

The first choice would be a full output set of USA built tubes. Cetron, GE, 
Raytheon, as well as OEM branded Dentron, Waters, Hunter and others.

Most Chinese are fine as the bad versions have gone away, I use Penta on 
many of my 6M conversions.

Svetlana are problematic in some SB-200's. A few changes to the grid circuit 
tames them down.

I just picked-up an SB 200 in fairly decent shape.  Makes about 600 watts 
with 60 watts drive on 110 VAC.  However, I am thinking about picking-up a 
spare set of tubes and was wondering which replacements work best for this 
amp?  Chinese, Svetlana, etc.
