I've tested a number of them, and the meter always pegs violently using the listed settings. I've noticed that changing the 'Type' setting to 1 (the chart says to use 2), gives an in-scale reading. But I have a later loose-leaf listing that was compiled after the roll-chart was produced, listing many new tubes that aren't on the roll, and it still shows type 2 for this tube.<br><br>Any comments? Other types found that don't test properly using the listed settings? Or maybe no one uses tube gear anymore...<br>_______________________________________________<br>Heath mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Heath@puck.nether.net">Heath@puck.nether.net</a><br><a href="https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/heath" target="_blank">https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/heath</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
