Title: Tube Tester Updates?? Post by: wb1ead on January 10, 2010, 11:13:53 AM Hi All..got a general type of question about tube testers..I own two testers most likely manufactured in the late 40's to late 50's just guessing at it from the date on the manual covers..a Sylvania Electric type 220 and Radio City Products Co model 808..those of you who do have testers may have hit the same stumbling block I have..what about "newer" tubes?..how can you test?..for instance I'll pick one like a 6DQ5..not there!..both will check RF output tubes such as 6146 2E26 807 811 812 and so on..in the stack of Radio and TV News mags from this era I see reprints of supplements for owners of other name brand testers being given............So my question is: Is there a resource place where one could go to obtain this "supplemented" info pertaining to their particular tester?..no way can I be the only one trying to find this..or maybe I am..Last comment..I am not a "lazy" guy..me and Mr Putor never see eye to eye..I have tried to search for the info on the web but just maybe it ain't there or I'm too computor illiterate to find it..thanks all and 73 from frosty "Moose Country"!! de DAVE
