[Amps] Ameritron Amps?

[Carl]

Thats correct and Ive yet to see one that would not do that power even 
on 10M.

Call me old school but I prefer tubes that you can beat on and do stupid 
things to at 3AM in a contest and survive.

Or use the grid as a dummy load (;

Protection circuits are fine but they have their own quirks at times.

Replacement cost is a concern. The 3CX1200A7 isnt as popular as the 8877 
and that has to be considered. Having a new spare tube is always a good 
idea as its going to be better than your 401K in 10 years.
