Post Subject: You might not need it.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/13/2020
Carlosb, I do not remember. It should be written in my tester but… I need to find the tester. I do remember that I after I spend a hell of time to figure out how to test the tube with TV2 it I never actually used my finding and never tested 6C33 with TV2 in any practical sense. There is truly no needs to do it. The best tested of you 6C33 is your amplifier. You set the bias whatever your amp typically can handle and you measure the tube gain. Sometimes the sale of you bias will not allow you to do it. This would disqualify the tube but it will be very rare. Sometime you will not have the proper gain. This would disqualify the tube as well but it will be even rarer. Sometime the tube will not work at all. I have seen 3 cases like this in my life. Sometime the tube will have some odd light in it, even rarer. The 6C33 are very reliable tube and. Read about the new tubes bails run off at my site and you will be all prepared. You would need to know how a given tube ages. You can observe the gloss on the getter losing its gloss or you can assess how bias chases with time. Still, in my view all of it not necessary. Juts plug the tube, age it, confirm that you have proposer gain from you channel and then juts trash the tube in a year of a moderate use. They are cheap.
