[Hallicrafters] Tube tester question.

[Gerry Steffens]

Convert or replace the socket island?  I even bought a 6000 island.  Upon
examining the situation and contemplating the work (looking at the maze of
wires, wire length and more, I opted for the adapter route as described.  I
have a few actual Hickok adapters for the 6000A and said, "If its good
enough for Hickok, it's good enough for me."

that the red socket sub-chassis from the 6000 with the old sockets shows up
on the unmentionable place.  They are not interchangeable between the 6000
& 6000A!  They have a different number of pins on the plug and socket below
the chassis.  Twelve for the 6000 and thirteen for the 6000A as I remember.

It appears possible, though, to replace the plug on the red socket island
or subchassis from a 6000, to modify it for use in a 6000A tester. I did
the wiring diagram check to see if it could be done, but haven't gotten
around to actually hacking the 6000 island, though.
