Re: [Amps] 8877 Test

Good point Norm. I guess that a hi pot test is always a good idea.

I will add that I do know the history of these tubes. They are both from a 
transmitter that I bought and carried away from the government owned and 
run transmitting station. I personally removed the tubes and packed them 
for safe keeping. I never saw the transmitter working so I don't know how 
good the tubes are.
