Don:
Somewhere, sometime I read an application paper on testing high
power tubes in a simple efficient manner. For the life of me, I
can't remember or find it right now/
It has been so long ago, that I would not even speculate on how it
was accomplished. However, I will continue to search, and if I find
it, I will forward the information to you. I am not sure if it is
in the vein you seek, but it might be useful.

Subject: [AMRadio] RE: Testing Transmitting Tubes
A point of clarification, the high-end Hickok tube testers will
test many transmitting tubes. 807, 1625, 811A, 6146, 801A, 809,
826, 829 and many others. I have a Hickok 752A and use it all the
time for these tubes. I hear that the Hickok 539-series also works.
But higher power tubes are more problematic, with plate voltages
in the 1000-2500 volt range. For these larger tubes, I just have a
sense that there is a creative and easier solution here that I am
missing.
