RF parts lists 4CX800's at $349 each so two for legal limit is $698. Eimac
8877 is $799 with good MRI pulls in the $250 range. A new 3CX1500D7 is $695
direct from Eimac. I have never been a fan of Russian tubes and now that
they have raised their prices so high, I will probably never buy one. Given
their track record and the bad rap they have been getting lately, I can't
see them in business for long...
