Wanted: Tube tester adaptor

jdeitch11 · 27th March 2011, 12:31 AM

I've got a Hickock that doesn't accommodate nine-pin tubes. If you know how to build an adaptor to test 12au7, 12ax7, and 12au7s (plus how to establish settings), please contact me with price.

Thanks,
Jeff

This file should help you a bit - there are actually two adapters needed - one for each triode section, as I understand it. (I don't own a Hickock).
No charge....

You actually need MX-949A/U socket kit, I'll try to find schematics of it, I have it somewhere ... it's not so big deal to make it.

Good luck!

No, you need just one adapter, 1st test one triode, than another!

Thanks. I'd sure appreciate any help you can give me. I'm willing to compensate for time and parts. I do have some parts that are supposed get me there, but what to do with them? I'm a retired English teacher. We don't speak in ohms.
