Are you sure they are not 572B's?? 572B is a high mu, graphite anode
big brother of the 811A (160W, 3kV, mu ~ 160).
Used 2 of them in a push-pull hartley oscillator (1kVA-2kVA) and
gave sparks up to 18-19" before they "died" (internal flashover
at 6.8kV level shifted).
Using a 1.5-2.0kV MOT, they are just about bullet proof...
Also direct pin-for-pin replacement for 811A.
