[Amps] KAPUT 8877'S -DISPOSAL

[fortra at siol.net]

Noll,

in our club we used to have Alpha 77D.
I remember back in 80's that 8877 stopped working
all of a sudden. Tube has been on the shelf for year or so,
then we check the dc continuity of heaters and find out occasional
short-contact through DMM.

We then used Welding effect by applying DC from hefty power supply.
That brought the lamp to life.

It runs flaweslly for a year or so...then guys converted it to 77SX with
2 pieces of 3CPX1500A7

Then. they invented OM power :)

I have (6) 8877s that are no good (kaput).



Reading through the archives there does not appear to be any viable options
for rebuilding.



So.. The $64 question... what is the responsible way to dispose of these
tubes?



Can't see throwing out the tubes with the garbage.



Suggestions much appreciated.
