Following up on the results of my 5814A-swapping adventure, I tested all 
the 5814A's in the IF and RF deck last night.  The Hickock 752A sez all of 
them are perfect.  No gas, not shorts, strong uMho readings, yet at least 
two of them produce less-than-desirable performance for V506.

I've read that tube testing only gives you so much and I guess this proves 
it.  Now to find that lot of 100 5814A's on eBay for $1.00.  :)
