[Jukebox-list] 7868 tubes

[Ron Rich]

JC,
  I have not had a lot of experience with this tube, but it has been my unfortunate experience that, either the output transformers that were used, were weak, or the tubes, when old, appear to ruin the transformers--Just my findings--hopefully other people have had better luck--I would like other opinions !

I'm sure I'll find it.Got a local place that sells electronic parts.Just 
they close at 5 and are closed for the holiday and I just ordered a bunch of 
caps and stuff from MCM before I got into this.Since Ron says they're a 
troublemaker I'll change them in the LPC1 pulse amps too.

Now I got a new problem.When I got the AMI/Rowe JAL I made note that 1 
output tube was broken,a 7868.When I opened my Victory Glass Catalog I just about 
cried.$85 for 1 tube!!!!!
That's more than n.o.s. 6973s are going for!!!!Now I'm sorry I bought it 
considering the work it needs.I hope Vern Tisdale's price is better and all of 
the remaining ones are good.You wouldn't happen to have a used on lying around 
would you?
