Forum,
Anyone got reliable lever settings for 19 and 30 tubes?

Hey Marv:

I checked my TV11 roll chart and I have lever settings for the 19, but not for the 30. Here's the 19: Filament Voltage=2.0, F=1, P=4, Load=3, Fil Cont=1-6

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Allan

Allan,
Thanks this'll get me half way there. Checked the CD data you sent me, but nothing for either. My old roll chart doesn't list either, and even used a 1B4 settings for a 1A4 too.

Allan,
Found the #19 on my roll chart too, buried between 14xxx and 15xxx tubes, not in sequential order as I was expecting, but P=4 is just 1/2 of the dual triode, so I added P=3 for the second half, and both halves tested good. Set up the #30 same as the 19 (P=3), but got 50 (weak) at a load of 3 and 56 (good) at load of 6. Guess I'll order new one, just in case

Marv, unless you are having trouble attributable to a weak 30, I fear replacing the tube may be a waste.

Doug,
Thanks for the quick response. The lack of a triple batt pack and bias cells eliminated any early testing of the set, so I'm just getting together a probable parts list for the owner. I know all the fake mica caps in black molded cases are bad, because the cases all have splits. My tester doesn't have a setup for the #30, so I set the levers like a couple other 4 pin tube pinouts. Don't know what the load setting (0-10) on my TV-11 represents, 0 to 10K or 10 M, but others were set at 3 with good results. Had to use 6 for a good result on this tube.

Marv:
For what its worth, I did some research last night and I found some lever settings for 30 tubes on the Superior tube tester. Fil Voltage=2.0, F=1, P=3, Load=4.
Good luck!

Regards,

Allan
