It works fine but I have a question and the manual is very vague. On the spring loaded grid leak test, I always get a small meter reading but on some tubes it is large. So I remove the tube and check again, then replace the valve and see if it is different. If much different I trash. Anyone have comments? This switch was trashed because some twit had soldered the contacts. Then a later twit force turned it breaking the wafers. Restored it using contacts from another, tiny screws and JB Weld. Sorry to take you all away from the ebuy thread. Later. Wayne; W4GBW ]
