[Boatanchors] tube tester readings

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Dick,

What's his face sorta derailed your thread.  Some tube testers (TV-7(*)/U 
for one) label the switches by tube element type and number the switch 
positions by socket pin number.  I'm not familiar with the B&K but if it's made 
like that,  set it up for the first section and check the switches against the 
tube base diagram.  Others don't, and all that you can do there is to set 
it up for a tube and then check the tester schematic against the base diagram 
to see which section is connected.  Then try some other tubes to see 
whether there is any correlation between what B&K calls "TEST 1", "TEST 2", etc., 
and what the standard base diagram calls and/or numbers the section being 
tested.
