Felipe, you can change hv as you described. The results will depend on how you intend to use the lower voltage. If your plan is to lower the voltage AND plate current together to run less rf power, t

A few of the VHF builders have removed part of the GS35B anode cooler to reduce the height. I have no idea how far one can go with this concept but it is mucho larger than an 8877 by comparison. 73,

Perhaps the new transformer has lower resistance windings, causing higher turn on current flow and welded the switch contacts in a closed condition? Does that amplifier have a surge limiting circuit

Roy, even though no inrush protection is called for, it can't hurt anything. Over a 35 year period of using an 8877 on 2m EME I have lost two tubes; both had an open heater. I have to believe a surge
