Default Re: The "Sussex" Homebrew Valve Tester.

Darrell,
The Sussex will not test 6C33 without major modifications. The heater supply alone takes 6.6A so neither the power transformer or the switches used will carry that current.
I used to test these when I was working and I used a separate heater supply on the VCM163 and NEVER used the functions switch to switch the heater as even on that tester, the switch contacts are pretty puny.

Regards

Mike
