I don't believe there is a direct way to test with simply a volt meter. As for font. - Use stolen. It may not have had that particular segment stolen; however, it will match the idea between the other tubes having lost segments. :) Back when I was in a position to not test tubes, I have bought several. Ended up with more bad tubes (b7971's) than I thought I would. ouch. But, I do have a tube that actually lights 2 segments together (bottom and low-right-diagonal). Umm, no font that adds segments. The auction for 4 is beyond normal pricing. There are other others as well. One issue I believe pricing have gone up is that we are all competing against each other for them. We should all get together and not bid against each other. I am SURE it will help. Michail
