Don:
In a message that arrived from Tony, W5OD after the last response I
sent, Tony asked that I post this since he is not able to pass the
information efficiently.
Don,
I know of a man in Arizona N7AF/Dave who built a TUBE tester for
Transmitting Tubes, then either sold it or somehow it ended up at
Antique Electronics Supply.
But I know Dave could help you just look him up on QRZ.com..
Very nice Ham and in fact a few years ago, he had a NEW set of
V70D's for my GK-400b which I was able to get from him.

Subject: [AMRadio] Testing Transmitting Tubes
Has anyone built a transmitting tube tester? Or seen any plans on
the web? The only thing I have seen on this subject is the issue
of GE Ham News that covers the subject (Vol 6, #3, May/June,
1951). I have some power supplies I can use to run the static
test. But I need to build something to hold the tube sockets,
filament transformers and plate current meter. I hate to reinvent
the wheel and would be happy to follow a pre-existing design if I
could find one...
Any ideas?
