Re: AVO 2 panel valve tester problems
David -
I stand to be corrected because I'm talking from memory, but I think your AVO tester is OK. You don't use the toggle switch to test rectifiers and diodes - just turn the tester on and check them for emission.
(Again, from memory) - to test rectifiers set the mA/V switch to 100 and the anode volts to to " Rec " . The emission of each half (for full wave rectifiers) will be indicated at selector positions D1 and D2 - they should match and be of the order expected for the valve.
To check diodes, set anode volts to D and anode selector to D1 or D2, and mA/V switch to mA/V position. Readings should be greater than 0.5 and generally 2 - 5.
Hope this helps - any further problems post again and I'll dig out my tester and the instructions (anybody else, jump in if I've got it wrong!)
