<You may be a bit harsh, Carl!  I?ve lost two 8877s  in the past half
<century or so, and it was my fault both times. The first was when I
<stupidly let the filament voltage drop way below specs, and the second
<was when the blower on my Alpha 9500 failed and I didn?t notice for
<two weeks.

##  so  much for the lack of  protection on a $9000.00  amp. 

##  A  simple  airflow switch  for  $5.00   is a lot cheaper  than
a new  Eiamac  8877......  at   $2875.00    

##  A  filament  over / under voltage circuit is  slightly  more  complex.
