I finally unpacked the tube tester I bought a while back. It's just a simple emissions tester. I found that it has test settings for the 1625 tube on the chart but lacks a socket that will fit. I should be able to make an adapter that I can plug into the octal socket by using a socket from a stripped out Command Set transmitter I have, so maybe that won't be too much of a problem.
But for the VT-52 and VT-62 tubes I want to test, the tester lacks not only a suitable socket but any test data. Since we are only dealing with four pins, I guess I can make an adapter using an octal plug and some alligator clipleads. But does anyone have any suggestion on what test settings to use?
Thanks,
Wayne
