[Amps] 8877 Test

[R.Measures]

Amen, Norm.  If a tube exhibits questionable leakage with a cold 
cathode, things are probably not going to magically get better when the 
cathode is hot.  However, with proven glitch protection and a 
resettable circuit breaker, the chances of damaging an amplifier with a 
leaky or gold-sputtered 8877 are minimal.
