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.
