Unpacking from Dayton Hamvention surprised myself, Henry 2006 Linear Amplifier found

I was still unpacking Totes from the Dayton Hamvention and when you find something that you don't remember anything about, you probably have a buying problem. I was wondering what was in this heavy crate. When I took off the crate lid, I saw the white top of the amp I was wondering to myself, what did I buy now that I don't remember. After pulling it out and taking a look, it's a Henry 2006 6 meter only 2 ceramic tube linear amplifier. I don't remember buying it at Dayton at all, but I know how I think. I probably saw those 2 ceramic tubes in it under the hood and thought that they were 4CX250B tubes. However, after unpacking it and then looking it up online, it actually has a pair of 8874 tubes in it. 8874's are small 400 watt triodes that are used in a few amps from back in the day like Alpha's. Great tubes, but since they have not been made in decades, and quite a few amps use them, they suffer the same fate as sweep tubes. Supply and demand, supply is very low and demand is very high, so the price of good 8874's if you can find good ones, is very very high. I think I am disappointed as I wanted an amp with 4cx250b's, however, 8874's do a lot more if they work, and also if these are ok in this amp, then the tubes alone will be worth a small fortune. Probably will convert this to Ten meters as I got the big Johnson 6n2 amp that has 6 meters and 2 meters already. As most know, Henry made very robust amps and this is an example of that. Vacuum variable Tune cap, robust power supply, and more. Project number 886. Some of my other dungeon projects can be seen in the background. So much work, so little time.
