Looks to me that RF Parts boast of the 3-500ZG on their web page. https://www.rfparts.com/tubes/tubes-3500.html <https://www.rfparts.com/tubes/tubes-3500.html>    However I didn't find any pricing.

I did look at DX Engineering and found this. https://www.dxengineering.com/search/product-line/ameritron-3-500z-replacement-power-tubes?autoview=SKU&sortby=Default&sortorder=Default <https://www.dxengineering.com/search/product-line/ameritron-3-500z-replacement-power-tubes?autoview=SKU&sortby=Default&sortorder=Default> Seems they have them but they aren't cheap!

Also I find that HRO shows inventory. https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-001928 <https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-001928>


And for you folks over in the U.K. https://www.thedxshop.com/transmitting-tubes-valves-6146b-572b-811a-500z-500zg-8877/thomson-csf-3-500z-3-500zg-transmitting-valve.html

So, the 3-500Z and ZG seem to be available in several places........but check with your banker first, because they aren't cheap.

Kinda off topic but if RF Parts no longer sells 3-500's we are in trouble. Ameritron manufactures a few amps using the 3-500zg. You might call/mail them and see if they sell the tubes.

Just bought a Centurion. Is little used, full power and working great, black and all that. I just noticed RFParts and the usual ePay sellers no longer list the 3-500zg. Anybody up
on that? DXengineering is out but claims to have them on 8/27.
