Western Electric settings for Hickok 600A?

[ethanbriz]

Hi folks! I have a decent amount of Western Electric tubes that I need to test. The problem is that I have a Hickok 600A tester, which doesn't supply settings for WE tubes. Does anyone know where the 600A settings can be found for the following tubes?

300B
274A
421A
412A
396A
404A
417A

I really don't want to buy another tester just to test these tubes, as I rarely come across WE tubes. With that in mind, any help would be greatly apprecited!

The 417a is very close in performance to a 5842, and has the same pin outs.

5842 heater=6.3 DZ-5106-0 bias=19, english=94 mutual cond=12000

I have a fair amount of tube data for the 600a, but I struck out on the remaining tubes that you listed.

Thank you both for your help. I actually found the 300B setting in an email a friend sent me a long time ago. In case you or anyone else needs it, it is:

5 Volts, JR-3200-0, Bias 60, English 87. Min Mutual Cond of 4600.

I remember I used this setting roughly two years ago, and can assure you they are correct. Now if I can just track down the rest of my tube settings, I would be a happy camper.

Thanks again for your help!
