JRG,
Your posts would be MUCH easier to read if you would use periods and capitalize sentences. I know you have those on the "thing" you are typing with...
Thanks Bruddah
before you can classify...you need a standard...it's amazing that a lot of sellers think if a tube tests like a new tube does...it is an unused tube or New Old Stock. Even more funny...they are using tube testers that either test emissions only (on purpose) or testers that do not even list the subject tube.....example....8417 and KT-90 tubes. So if my 3 year old light bulb with an expected life of 7 years draws 100watts its a NOS light bulb.
Can you come up with a kind of classification treating electrical characterstic seperately. And for specific tubes, for specific class of amplification?
i.e.
Tube: KT88
Condition: Excellent
Class A amplification:
Anode current: Ia within 10% of expected
Gas current: smaller than 1uA
Mutual Conductance: Gm within 10% of expected.
Insulation: Over 5M Ohms.
Condition: Good
Class A amplification:
Anode current: Ia within 30% of expected
Gas current: smaller than 2uA
Mutual Conductance: Gm within 30% of expected.
Insulation: Over 5M Ohms.
ETC
Class AB1:
Condition: Excellent
Class A amplification:
Anode current: Ia within 10% of expected
Gas current: smaller than 1uA
Mutual Conductance: Gm within 10% of expected.
Insulation: Over 5M Ohms.
ETC ETC.
Something like the above.

if somebody sends me email without punctuation etc that means that that somebody does not mind if i am too kinda too lazy to read and try to understand what he means if he does not bother to write such a way it is easier to read he probably will not bother to read what i reply anyway so why to bother and reply
I'm sorry your handicapped then, learn to ******* read, not everything has to be perfect *******
JRG,
Do you write that way because you really don't know how to put a period at the end of a sentence? Or is it because the "thing" you are using makes it so difficult you don't want to bother? Brother, it AIN'T EASY reading the stuff you post!
