Tube Tester Settings
1/30/2001 9:33:23 AMDave
I have a Heathkit IT-17 tube tester and
need some information from anyone who has
a conversion chart for this model. I don't have
the tester with me, so I'm not sure if the tubes
I'm going to list are on the roll chart.
Most of the ones I need to test aren't.
I need the settings to test these tubes:
6A3, 37, 42, 76, 77, 78
TIA for any info......

Here are the settings you require. I have a Booklet for the Heathkit IT-17, It-21 and IT-3117 tube testers dated 1979. Tell me if you need a scan or copy of it.

Thanks to Ross for the timely reply!
Can't wait to get them tested and
start restoring the latest project,
a Philco 116X.
