Anyone in NJ area test tubes. Mostly non guitar amp related

Post by wsaraceni »

Bought this years ago at some online auction. Never did anything with it. I don’t know what most are. Just looking to determine if they are garbage or worth finding a home.

Get in touch with the local Ham radio community near you.
75% of those folks have good tube testers that can test for the Gm factor which is really what you want to know if the tube is not just a simple rectifier.

You would also be then likely to find a member who might buy a lot of those tubes from you, if not then you can donate them to the Ham club.

good call. you are the second person to suggest that.

it's probably what ill do. ill take out the few 12ax7s and stuff and maybe just donate the rest. im not looking to make money or deal with possible suspect 90 year old tubes. some of these have 1940s dates on them.
