The Chinese version of the 8877 is still in question. Ameritron sells them
for about $400 cheaper than the Eimac version. I personally have used the
Eimacs for the last 35 years. Never had a failure yet !

Yes, and it was tuned with a vacuum variable. The output coupling
was a flapper. I often regretted parting with that amp, as it was in
many respects better than what succeeded it.

Does anyone have a source for imported 8877 tubes? Has anyone had any in
service? How did they do?
Thanks!

I purchased one from Henry Radio about a year and half ago. The amp it
sits in is located at our lake house, so it only sees summer weekend duty and
all the winter contests, including the RTTY contests. Henry wasn't the
cheapest, but they had a one year guarantee. So far no complaints, and I'm
notoriously abusive of every tool and piece of equipment I own.

Ameritron has been having very good luck with them, they offer customers a
choice of Chinese or Eimac. The last I looked the Chinese was about half
price.
