Has anyone here built this kit? If so, what do you think of it? I have one on the way and may need some tips. TIA
The manual very very complete. Nothing to worry about. It will take you trough the whole process step by step with many checks along the way. Ronald is very very responsive if there's any help you need. For the money it's probably the best you can buy in terms of a tube tracer.
Thank you for your response. Does it render a thorough evaluation of the tube in question and is it accurate?
Yes very accurate, but when using an additional PS for the heater, like I did.
I cross checked my results with an Amplitrex, and Maxi-preamp / matchers.
As well with my trusted 100% rebuild Sencore MU150.
The quick test gives all the info you need at the bias point you desire.
Two things are missing IMO:
- noise test.
- continuous mode especially to burn/test power tube under load. The tester pulses and measures so the plates never get hot. You can't damage a tube under test unlike analog testers.
