Okay, so I picked up a tube tester (Eico 667) a couple of weeks ago since I currently have 17 tubes in the system and want to be able to pin down troubled ones when it arises. I have gone through the manual a couple of times and tonight decided to actually play with it a little ( I have to admit it was a little scary for me). Anyway, there are some terminologies that I do not understand what they mean, nor do I know how to differentiate between them. I read types like cathodes, diodes, etc.
How does one know what category the type of tube they are testing falls into. Do you have to just know the tube or do the numbers tell you something?
Thanks,
Mike
