Hi Gary...
I'd say anywhere from 100-160 mA is typical, but of course meter accuracy
(nominal +/- 5k% of FULL SCALE) isn't great at the very low scale edge.
Generally the idling current of the 3CX800A7/8877 class of triodes isn't
very critical so long as it's not so great as to create a dissipation
problem.

Subject: [AMPS] 8877 Idling Current??
Gents:
What should the idling current be for a pair of 8877's in the big Alpha
77SX? Does around 80 mA sound about right?
Thanks for the help.
