Would appreciate any member that owns one of these and has a 3V4 tube to test it and let me know their result. I have tested 4 NOS 3V4 tubes and they do test good but only 58 on the 10-100 scale

I did Cal the Filament @ the 6.3 VAC setting

I would expect a New tube to read furthur into the Green Zone.
Maybe because this is a low Filament voltage tube 1.4 VAC

Is this the Norm for these work horses.
Been using a TV 7 too long maybe

Thanks
Bob T.

Mine reads 60 with settings off the roll chart.
Using Settings from a chart I got off BAMA, (I think), it reads 90.

A and B settings the same. C is 43, U is 2-6, and D is 5
Switch 6 is in ( ) meaning it is for the gas test and 1-7 are normal for shorts.

I too used roll chart settings. So 60 seems normal.
Your alternate settings seem to show better what the tube is. New should read close to full scale I would think

Only thing with multiple charts is now I stay confused as to which is "correct". Like having 2 wrist watches on. :)
