Use a SINGLE 3cx800a. The power supply in the Dentron isn't up to a
pair of 3cx800's. The SINGLE tube has a dissipation of 800W,
the same as the original PAIR of 8875's.

There is also some information on the Svetlana web page about converting the
MLA-2500 to use two 8874's which are electrically identical to the 8875. The
only difference is the cooling configuation.
