Taylor 45 A valve tester user manual

[Joe_Lorenz]

Hello all,

for some weeks now there is a Taylor valve tester resting on my bench. It is the 45 A model and it seems to be in rather good condition but I wish to check it thoroughly and even use it from time to time. My other valve testers are all of more recent manufacture and not the first choice when it's about valves of the 30s or 40s.

Now I have been hunting for documentation on the set. Seems to be hard to find any. I have got the valve chart on the 45 C model and I have got a manual on Windsor 45 D apparatus, but nothing exactly on the Taylor 45 A.

Is anybody out here who has more information? Thanks for any hint!

Kindest Regards,
Joe

Taylor 45A manual.
Thanks to Mike Cobaltblue for posting the circuit etc. I had forgotten I had posted that. Four years ago!.
I attach now the rest of the manual and instructions.
There are some 70 pages of valve data tables also which I have not done.
It is not too difficult with the aid of the Valve Bases Wiring table on page 11 to work out the operating conditions and base connections from the valve data.
I use the Wireless World Valve data 9th edition and the First(1949) and Sixth(1968) editions for older valve types Otherwise, there is Frank Philipse's invaluable valve/tube data.
