do you need a complete copy or the settings for a few types? I ask this as I have a few manuals for that tester...can you give an example of the tube type you are trying to test?

Just about anything/everything with a foreign number that isnt on the standard roll charts with a US number.

Hickok had at least a few supplements available...maybe 10 pages.

I'm having the same trouble with my 752. I need to test an ELL80/6HU8 tube and there are no tester settings for this tube in the Hickok literature that I have.

There's a data sheet for your tube on this site:

You may be able to derive settings by comparing characteristics with other tubes.

Always happy to help out a great bunch of guys. There have been a number of times I wished I could help but was beaten to the punch. Glad I could finally do something useful.

Dave, How big did the pdf turn out to be??

I thought about doing that for my archive but keeping the individual scans incase someone needed and their email was picky about attachment size ... i have a couple of email accounts the get upset when attachments are larger than 1MB :?

Thanks Dave,

I printed those that Scott sent ... I'm going to run them through a copier we have at work which scans them all automatically into a single pdf like yours and save to a usb key, it will be a nice way to archive the manual.

Sure did, and thanks! I only wish the program I used had a way of doing that. I can drag and drop individual files but that's about it.
