Thanks guys,
Now I am COMPLETELY lost, lol.
Someone on the Phorum have suggested some time ago, that the best way to check the tube is to switch it with another, known good one taken from the working set, or change places, whatever. Come to think of it, it makes healthy sense.Sounds like even Hickok may hick up at you.At this point, for some unknown reason all my tubes, from the sets and the spare ones test "like new". Too good to be true.BTW, I just checked the 2 of my 47, the week ones, the needle jumped to the 80% almost immediately.As much as I love attempting and sometimes succeed repairing the radios, I can not stand unreliable tester. And I love analog testers.Another day somehow ruined mine from 1963, had it for 30 years. There have been 24 hrs mourning.
