Electron tube type amplifier repair and troubleshooting without a
hi-pot tester is like unto Ray Charles driving a motor vehicle.

Good point Norm. I guess that a hi pot test is always a good idea.
I will add that I do know the history of these tubes. They are both
from a transmitter that I bought and carried away from the government
owned and run transmitting station. I personally removed the tubes and
packed them for safe keeping. I never saw the transmitter working so I
don't know how good the tubes are.

Alex,
I for one would not want to test your 8877 tubes in my working amp
without first having them hi-potted at at least 8kv

This is directed mainly to the downunder members of this list.
I have two 8877 tubes which I believe are in good condition but I
have no way to give them a live test.
Is there anybody who has an amplifier using this tube, who would be
willing to try my tubes out?
I would rather deal with somebody in Australia, due to shipping
issues and costs but would consider others if necessary.
