[SCCC] Alpha 78

[Rick D]

Hi all,

My old original Alpha 78 will not QSK and I suspect the vacuum relay is shot. Is there a cheap replacement or a solid state mod floating around?

It is a 3 hole and the 8874s are original.  I've seen some replacement mods, but the replacement mods are almost as much as Russian 8874s.  Is there a good mod using some easy to get cheap tubes. Even if it is less power it is OK with me. Seems like I could buy a new Ameritron for what it will cost to fix this one.

Also, anyone have an easy fix for the gummy paint these things develop.

Thanks
