Thanks, Lud. I have Lane's 1998 OTB article on Testing obsolete tubes on the Hickok 530, 600, and 6000 models. I have some WE 274Bs and 350Bs to test,...
Hmmm . . . having 350Bs and 274Bs to test is certainly "the problem that you like to have"! I'm not skilled on these testers; there's obvious family similarity...

OK. Got it. Makes sense that the 4-pin adapter was only a UV- issue; does not compute that some of these tubes could be tested through a 4-pin socket adapter. ...
Dale, Lane specifies "series" throughout his brief article, never distinguishing between 530, 600, 6000 and 530A, 600A, 6000A. Regards, Paul ... From: "Dale H....
... Hmmm... That's a problem, because the settings that work on the 533 and 600 (roll chart 3200-44) will not work on the 533A and 600A (roll chart 3200-47),...
The Hickok Supplementary Tube Data lists I have for Obsolete and Foreign Tube Types are both marked for Models 6000, 6000A, and 6005, suggesting no difference...
... I'm not surprised. The 605 and 605A both use the same settings as well. Testers with the same settings use the same roll chart. For compatibility of the...

Hi Ernie, Why not start where the industry started, with a crystal radio. In those days people built their own crystal radios. You can buy a kit and do it the...

hi jim, i was thinking along the lines of a 2m or 6m or a combo radio if they exist. thats what a tech is allowed to operate, correct? i went to the one site,...
Yup, crystal sets are just receivers. I didn't know you were talking about your first HAM radio. For that I would suggest a 2meter hand held unit. If your...
