[Boatanchors] tube tester readings

[rbethman]

The numerical ranges on the meter should also be listed in the tables 
for settings for each tube.

That is, at least the case with my Western Electric (Actually a 
Hickock(sp?) KS-15560-L1.  There is no good/bad/reject.  Each tube 
listing gives the MINIMUM MicroMhos of transconductance.

Do you have such listings with the B&K?
