This is a Computerized Vacuum Mutual Conductance and Emission Tube Tester, but all of the needed computer hardware is self-contained so it is a standalone system that you can take with you without need for a PC.
However, you can hook it to your PC via the USB port to operate the tester, store test results and perform really great tube performance curve traces.
You can also... use it to match tubes in a very orderly and repeatable fashion.
When you find a tube that is not on its internal list, you can write a test for that tube and store it in the tester's memory.Your only limited to standard filament pins for a given socket type but there are socket adapters that allow you to write tests for non-standard base tubes.You can purchase plug in adapters to allow you to test many other types of tubes requiring higher than the 5 amp filament limit. These adapters are self-powered.I have one for testing 845 tubes and it works beautifully. (This is NOT part of the sale as it will work with my analog tester, so I am keeping it).
This tester can test tubes with plate voltage up to 500 volts, well above any of the capabilities of the Hickok or other mutual conductance testers. You can even test a single tube at different plate voltages to get additional information about the tube.
I show the results of a test of a good type 83 Mercury vapor rectifier.
When I bought this last year, I had grand dreams of creating a retirement business heavily rooted in vacuum tubes. The events of the past year have prompted me to reevaluate how I want to spend my time and putting $10 tubes into boxes is no longer on my "to do" list.
This great tester is in perfect condition but for a little dust.
Electrically it is also perfect.
It comes with the special adapter that allows you to test 4 prong rectifier tubes like 80, 83 and so on (use the setting for 5U4 and socket D).It also comes with the special adapters that allow you to test Compactron tubes like sweep tubes.
This listing includes all needed software, tube data files and everything you need to use it.
This tube testing system is 100% guaranteed to be as described.
I generally do not charge "Handling" but there is no option for placing insurance so I put that in the "Handling" box. You do need to pay that insurance as I will not ship without it.
I am happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability.
