I finally really checked out the tubes on the ALPHA 77 SX. Initial ohm meter reading of filaments showed a very low resistance ... less than 2 ohms but something didn't seem right. Applied 5 vac fila

Bob, Try K9AU, Frank Stelloh. email: frank.stelloh@med.ge.com or phone 920-625-3211 or cell phone 262-370-5018. I have purchased 8877's from Frank and have found him to be honest and reputable. 73 No

I have seen the open heater phenomenon in kaput 8877s that were used in amplifiers that ran one side of the heater at gnd potential. If you don't have a free supply of 8877s, it might be a good idea

Two tubes also have double the input capacitance and half the input impedance, so the feedback situation remains the same. If the grid is nailed down firmly - VHF-style, using multiple contact finger

Glad to see the recommendation for the clamping diode to ground on the choke. Without this, the path to ground is through the filament winding on the transformer. In the Alpha amps this may cost more

** Ian -- How do you explain that 2, 3-500Z amplifiers have a greater reputation for squirreliness than 1, 3-500Z amplifiers? ** So why did the gold-plating on the 8877's grid boil off in Figure 24

What is the source, availability, rating and cost of a suitable gaseous clamping device.? What is the failure mode ? Would such a device not fire fire from the RF potential at the cathode ? - R. L.

"Reputation for squirreliness"? Right, so you're looking for a real in-depth technical analysis here... If we've learned one thing on this list, it is that there's a huge range of variability between

Squirreliness = marginal VHF/UHF stability. Agreed, however, more feedback-C is hardly good news because it is built into the tube and it is not adjustable. Multi-tube amps also have multiples of th

Hi Ian and Everyone, Just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. The Alpha 77 was a nice amplifier until things went dreadfully wrong. I have modified two Alpha 77's to SX types. The amp works great on 1

I have been there, done that also, Hardy....in addition to your list: The tank circuit was designed for a Q of 10-12 with an anode Z of 2200 ohms. Putting two tubes in lowers the Z to 1200 ohms or s
