I have had exactly the same experience. I am beginning to think that the arc
is a required part of the rehab procedure!

If/when you build that amp be sure to put a glitch resistor in series with
the anode supply to the tube. Old 8877's can get gassy. I cooked my Ebay 8877
for three days with only filament voltage and the blower on. Also started it
up with low voltage. Glad I had a glitch resistor because I still got an arc
over. After that, though, it settled down and performs nicely.
Good Luck, Dennis W0JX/8
