It's rated 6kw, but it's been found with a slightly different cooling scheme and the resultant increase in airflow, that it can be run > 9000 watts anode dissipation... Depending on air intake temp...
If I'm not mistaken :)

I would not use a pair, but a single tube.
Anode dissipation of the YC-243 is 9KW?
The price of the Svetlana YC-243 equivalent is 650US$ here
73

### How much is 400 Euro's in US dollars ?? Think it's at least
$600-$700.... + socket. $1400.00 for 2 of em.... not a
chance... no bargain there. A YC-243 is still a way better deal
at $1100- $1200.... and is the electrical eq of 6 x 8877's. The
YC-243 can also be rebuilt over and over.
## Have fun trying to play "matched pair" with 8877's.
