Ok thanks everyone for their input ... I was under the impression that
the MLA-2500 was a well built amp, and easily modifiable to use less
expensive available tubes.
I'll do some further research.

I would not say it is easy , but I seem to remember that in a 73 Magazine
(maybe QST) there was an artical to modify it for one of the single Russian
power tubes. Doubt that I would go to that much trouble as there are many
of the Heathkit and other amps around that use a pair of the much more
rugged
4-400 and 3-500 type tubes.

Tubes are mighty hard to find and terribly expensive. And they are easy
to blow as well...but its a nice amp, be VERY carefull and you could do
fine. Youd be better off with an SB 220 in the same price category
though...OH I just happen to have one, check my webstie !!

I have one and it's an excellent amp. Will run a full KW with less then 50
watts of drive. Last summer I replaced the 6 electrolytic capacitors with 6
new ones order from Digi-key for about $30.00. I bought mine new and
wouldn't trade it for anything. Just make sure the 8875's tubes are OK
before investing big bucks.
