bkrop Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 If you would like to get rid of an extra tube tester that can test old 4 pin through "modern" tubes I would be happy to lighten your load for ,of course, cash and pick up!

Guest " " Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I did some restoration and calibration work on some tube testers this weekend. re-capped, then reclaibrated using a 6l6 calibration tube. before and after readings were off by 5% - 8%.
