In the Thread: How to test 6C33C?
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. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
