[Boatanchors] Testing 01A and 301A tubes

[Ed via Boatanchors]

Howdy Joe! -  The way I used to test 01a tubes  was with a  single tube 
Crosley  Radio... oddly enough   they   could  look  good on the tester but   
still not regenerative  action    properly ... so  slam the tube in  look   
for  light  listen  for  loud  radio  signal    crank on it  to make is 
squeal  and   into the good  box if it does all of this.
 
I came up with this  quick  test in the 70s  when Glenn  Streeter  fixed me 
up with  a giant  trash can  sized  container of  loose  tubes.

I just  picked up a nice Atwater Kent 20 receiver (big box) and checked the 
filaments  of the tubes and they were OK...so far so good.

I have a Hickok 752A  tube tester but there is no listing for these 
tubes.....there is a 4 pin  socket on the 752A in which the tubes will plug in and 
fit.

I've seen  where folks have tested these tubes on a TV7 (essentially same 
circuit as  752A).

Any suggestions on how to test these tubes on my  752A?

Settings in particular??

Many thanks for any  assistance...I'd like to get this fine receiver back 
up on the air  again.

73, Joe  W2KJ
