Beginner Valve Tester - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi folks

I thought some of the perhaps newer members might like to have a go at building this very simple valve tester (checker). Although the original article in 1960 was aimed at television valves and the project had only B9A type bases on it but there is no reason why it can not be adapted to a selection of particular valves, as you see by the pictures of the one I built, so if you want something to have a little fun with and something that is of use then have a go at this.

I couldn't upload the pdf of the circuit and details so if anyone would like it I can send it to their e mail. just pm me.

Best wishes

Ken
