Testing UV199 tubes

9/6/2008 3:02:04 AMG.BERG

Hi all... I came across a bunch of brass base short pin uv199 tubes in original boxes.... I want to test these..but the pins are not long enough to do so on my tester. I know I can just use a meter and test the filliment..but I want to go further...like make a adapter to go in the 4 pin slot of my tester...any good ideas??

CONSIDERING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY OUT FOR AN ALREADY MADE CONVENTIONAL ADAPTER SOCKET

ANNNNNNND. . . .ASSUMING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL "SHORTIE" SACRIFICIAL SOCKET AVAILABLE, HERE'S ITS MECHANICAL PROFILE TO DUPE AND THEN MADE TO MOUNT UPON A CONVENTIONAL SOCKET SHELL FROM AN EASIER TO FIND COMMON OLD 4 PIN SOCKET THAT FITS CONVENTIONAL TESTERS.

ALSO SOME EXPECTED Mu CHARACTERISTICS OF OTHER TUBE SETTINGS.
