I have a few gorgeous nos RCA Radiotron/Cunningham # 46 tubes. I have three testers, a Hickok 600a, a Hickok 550X and a Mighty Mite V.
I know how to test a tube of course but the problem is that none of my testers has data for a 46. In fact they don't have data for any of my globes. I need that data to test them but I don't know where to look. I searched but did not find anything.
Thank you

Here's a link to the 600a consolidated test settings:

Thank you so much. Now I have one more question. Being as this 600a is my first Hickok, I am not sure if I understand mutual conductance and I do not think I am reading the meter correctly. I set the 600a up with the settings that you sent me and when I pushed button 4 the needle instantly pegged the right side of the meter. I do not know what that is telling me. I made sure that the line was set of course. So I just don't know. I would be grateful if you could help me understand this. Thanks
I'm not sure I can help you with that because I don't have any 46s to test. It could be that the settings listed are not correct or maybe your tester needs to be calibrated.
I own a 600a but I have no particular expertise on it or tube testing in general.
