Ordered this morning. Just received notice of shipment. Love dealing with Parts ConneXion!
Received the Elrog ER5U4G this afternoon. Actually quite impressed with Parts ConneXion and FedEx. Ordered the morning 12/22 and received the afternoon of 12/27 with Xmas in the middle. Also remember it had to go through Customs. After letting it warm to room temp it has been running for about two hours. If I do not like it I can always sell it to the Coast Guard to use in a lighthouse. Man this thing is bright! Anybody have experience or opinion how long it will take the tube to settle in?
I will be unhappy if does not last longer than the Taks(13&15 months). But if it does not at the purchase price it will still be a less painful hit than when the Taks blew up!
Let me know how it compares to the KR 274B and what you can remember from the Tak274B!Received the Elrog ER5U4G this afternoon.
I've been running mine since June and you're right about the brightness!Received the Elrog ER5U4G this afternoon. Actually quite impressed with Parts ConneXion and FedEx.

You are likely overheating the tube and they will not last long.I am about 20 hours in on my Elrog ER5U4G rectifier. I am going to hold off on comparisons and impressions until the 50 hour threshold. One peculiar behavior I have noticed and am wondering if it is normal. When turning on the amp the filament(?) in the middle is almost intolerably bright. It stays that way until the amp finishes it's inital opening cycle and then dims. Is this normal. None of my other rectifiers have exhibited this behavior. Video attached.
