[Amps] 8877 tests

[TexasRF at aol.com]

I have had exactly the same experience. I am beginning to think that the  arc 
is a required part of the rehab procedure!

If/when  you build that amp be sure to put a glitch resistor in series with 
the anode  supply to the tube. Old 8877's can get gassy. I cooked my Ebay 8877 
for three  days with only filament voltage and the blower on. Also started it 
up with low  voltage. Glad I had a glitch resistor because I still got an arc 
over. After  that, though, it settled down and performs nicely.

Good Luck,  Dennis W0JX/8
