At that low power level that size roller is usually adequate but the moving
parts wear and create intermittents. They become a maintenance headache for
some owners.
Its a cute little amp but it really needs a seperate grid meter for those
fragile tubes.
For real power the one used in the Henry 8K is needed and even then they act
up.

I have had a Henry/Tempo 2001 linear amplifier, that uses a pair of 8874
tubes, which has a roller inductor, for almost 40-years. No problems!
The "plate tuning" in this amplifier is actually uses the roller inductor.
The plate tuning capacitors are fixed and the roller inductor is tuned. Of
course, the antenna loading is a variable capacitor.
I do not believe that there were that many 2001 amplifiers sold. I have
actually had another one in my hands but don't know of anyone else who has
one of these.
The roller inductor makes tuning on the WARC bands easy even though the
amplifier was designed before those bands were established.

Ulvin Tremendus in Spain has the dual 8877's already.

we have been waiting on that dual 8877 amp with roller inductor for some
time now. Many die hard hams would prefer that over solid state.

Perhaps, yes. But regardless of how inexpensive the Chinese amps may be,
at the end of the day they will still be Chinese amps, metaphorically
speaking.
Exciting things to come in 2015 in the QRO solid state market. Trust me
on this :)

The Chinese have some serious amps but no US certification yet that Im
aware of. Once they get going watch out! They are already taking over
the tube business.
