6B7 Test with Hickok
6/29/2000 9:09:53 PMDana
I have a 6B7 tube that has 7 pins. Both of my tube testers show a 6B7 on the roll chart however neither one of them has the proper sized socket to insert it into the tube tester! I have what I think are every adapter that came with one of the tube testers and none of them are the proper size. (Hickok 752) A 6A6 tube also has 7 pins but they are placed further apart and fit the tube tester correctly. I have to believe I am missing an adapter? Thanks

Hi Dana

Are you sure your 6B7 doesn't fit in the same socket as the 6A6? The 6A6 does have pins spaced farther apart but most tube testers have a socket designed for either 7 pin spacing.
