MILITARY TV-7D/U





tube testers 2014





 
A French made tube tester for both American and European tubes since 1950.Voltage selector 110-245v 50Hz. Dimensions H450 - 340 - D165.
Weight 7Kg












 
It was made in Canada by Stark Electronics Instruments.The TV-7 series are built like tanks and seems to me, to be one of the best designed tube testers ever made. They are based on a Hickok design and are great for testing real old tubes prior to WWII. It will test many, but not all, tubes made after WWII.

High quality components with welded steel case Tests for Mutual Conductance (Gm), Shorts, and Tube LifeTests both sections of dual section tubes without resetting selectors Seven Plate & Screen voltages up to 225 VDC and Bias voltages to -20 VDC. Four grid signals at 4000 Hz. Nice, smooth built-in roll chart6L6GC under test in pictures 4 & 5 = 2000 X 3 = 6000 micromhos. Nice case--almost mint
