[Collins] 32S-3 advice needed

[JAMES BRANNIGAN]

I duplicate the voltage and resistance charts in an Excel spreadsheet.
For each tube/pin I insert a cell for the measured value and another for 
the difference.
The difference cell contains a formula to display the difference as an 
absolute value.

If the difference is greater or less than a stated percentage i.e. 20%, 
the cell presents in red.

If all the difference cells are referenced to one "percentage" cell, 
various percentage differences may be tested.  The red color makes it 
easy to spot
potential problems.
