Default Re: The "Sussex" Homebrew Valve Tester.

Well the last panel meter arrived today and I had a chance to do some more work on the VT. Still have a lot of wiring to do but it is almost there. I had planned to wire the Top Cap to switch 9 in my earlier plans for a VT before the Sussex came along but reckoned that one day someone would want me to test a PL81 or something similar so opted for the separate sockets, at least I have some handy test points . Still waiting for the pukka switch stators from Sifam so I made a few just to see what they will look like before they arrive.
The labels could have been better I suppose but at the end of the day, it is only for home consumption and not going into a shop window.
