Looks like you've made a really good score on that tube tester, Bob. Let me express a little bit of concern though, as I have heard that super glue might crack the glass of the tube as it heats up, that it is not elastic and will not accommodate the expanding glass. I have also heard that epoxy glues are a little more flexible and may be more appropriate for this application.
@HardKnocks60 You're absolutely correct. I should have recommended Permatex RTV or RTV3145. They can take the heat, bonds well and are a little flexible.
Nice tester. I was wondering if you might post a short list or short video of the forums that you frequently use? I think that would be a big help to folks. I know if would help me. Thanks again for a great video. George, N0JRJ
@GeoN0JRJ I mainly hang our at Videokarma. You'll also find me at the Antique Radio Forum. Just google either of those names and you'll find the websites.
That's considerably more complicated inside than my newly bought emissions tester.
I noticed that on one section of the tube you tested, it tested higher than 100%. My tester does this on a couple tubes I have. I assumed something was wrong, and was going to test all of the resistors' values. I've done the one simple calibration successfully, but those two tubes still test at over 100%. One almost pegs the meter. Is it normal for some tubes to test higher than 100%?
I have a military radio that has that anti mildew stuff in it I got 20 years ago for 5 bucks at the flea market you can see it in " G.I.Joe HQ part 2" It is mounted
in a console and I had removed the eyeball tube from it to put in a zenith radio
@GrandCaravanSE LOL. Yes, test tube tester tubes on on a tube tester that's had it's tubes tested with a tube tester that's tubes have been tested with a tubes tester...

@SlackJones1 I think so. I calibrated that Triplett 3413B not too long ago.

i find it funny that you tested the tubes on a tube tester. Kind of ironic.
