I don't think there are any more/new roll charts being made. But there are reprints of the latest chart in book form which contain obsolete and foreign data as well. I got mine from Hickok years ago, but people sell copies on eBay sometime. Or if you can find the original yellow supplementary books they're worth grabbing.
I just looked on the bay and found this.

It's funny, after all these years I should just learn that Hickok pretty much is close to data sheets. For instance the 6SJ7 RCA datasheet says g1 bias volts -3 and gm 1575. 60% of 1575 is 945. These testers aren't that accurate so the results would still have got me what I want to know. In fact I find most tubes test like new until they are maybe down to 1/4 of it's life then the gm drops down, it's not like a gradual decline.
I still like to have the exact Hickok test data for some reason so thanks again.
