PE06/40N - AVO valve tester settings - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Christoffrad · 18th Sep 2021, 10:26 am

I have what I believe to be a valve type PE06/40N
The AVO valve tester settings are given for a PE06/40P as
123 114 500 but the valve tester then reads the Heater as O/C
On-line data confirms the heater pins that I can measure OK in practice (the two pins at the bottom in the attachment)
Could it be that the different suffix (N to P) is relevant ?
Does anyone have the correct settings for the AVO tester?

Thanks

The heater pins on the PE 06/40P are 2 & 3.

The heater pins on the PE 06/40N are 1 & 5.

So far as I can make out it would be 254 130 000 for the PE 06/40N.
