Puzzling, since the pictures are all of Eimac tubes, but it's pretty clear they're planning a house brand, presumably made in China.  I think they ought to clean that up.

I concur that with proper use and even with an occasional oops wrong
antenna, an 8877/3CX1500 will last a long time. Still it nice to know where
to get replacements if needed or wanted for spares.

Does DX Engineering intend to sell these tubes?

I have 25 amplifiers here that use 8877s. It is a really good tube for
amateur use at 1500 watts output.

Some of my amplifiers have 8877s with date codes in the 1970s and they are
still going strong.

With care - 8877s last a long time.

I built a 8877 tube tester several years ago to insure I can keep these
amplifiers going for many more years
