Help Testing a 01A Tube on a Superior TW-11 Tester
2/22/2001 10:35:57 PMCraig
Hi,
I'm trying to test a UX-201A tube and CX-301A tube on my Superior TW-11 Tube Tester. I can't find either
tube (or any 01A) listed on the Roll Chart. Can anyone help me find what test settings I should select or what
the tube may be called on the Roll Chart. The settings would probably be the same as on the more popular
TV-11 tester
Thanks,
Craig

Someone with the same tester or Alan Douglas may be able to help with the exact settings. If tube #26 is listed set up your 01A's the same way but with the filament at 5 volts.

Norm, There are about 5 variations of a #26 tube listed (26A6, 26A7, 26BK6, 26C6, 26D6, 26Z5W, etc.), but all have a 25 filament voltage. I'm not sure if any of those are for a UX-201A or similar tube. I bet the setting will be the same as on any of the old Superior tube testers if someone out there has one.
Thanks,
Craig

Non of those. The UX201A is similar to a #26 except for filament voltage. That's a 26 without the letters. It has a 1.5 volt filament. Your tube tester may not have test setups for any old type tubes. Can you test 4 pin tubes? Are there settings for any 4 pin tubes?

Norm,
it has old four pin sockets and I know that others have tested 01As on both Superior TW-11 and TV-11 testers--I just don't know how yet.
Thanks for the help,
Craig
