Steve Bench's RAT tube tester
I was wondering if anyone's built the RAT tube tester. I'm trying to
get a logical layout for the panel and the components. I've emailed Steve a couple of times, but I know this has been a difficult year for him so I didn't want to push it. If anyone can give me some ideas as to layout and maybe some pics of a completed unit I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Greg |

Doug Hi Doug, I've been doing some research on this project and I have the transformers and some other parts for it. I plan on building it within the next month or so. I've decided to build a wooden box like the old tube testers (and combining another one of my hobbies) and a metal panel that screws into the box. Just would like to get an idea of layouts that people may have used so I can start planning it. Greg Greg |

Mine is built in a 12 inch wide, 5 inch high, 6.75 inch deep
aluminum box with the sockets mounted on top and controls mounted on the front panel. As I think I've mentioned, one common issue that's come up is the connection to the DMM. If your AC meter is sensitive to DC, make sure you put a cap in series with the meter. The commonly reported symptom is that gm seems to be OK, but mu seems incorrect. With no DC across the meter everyone seems to be getting correct results. Best Regards, Steve Check my web page ..

Hi
Mine is built working for about 6 months now. Used a metal instrument box from discarded medical equipment with valve sockets along the top, meters and controls on the front. Box already had 3 panel meters mounted so I used these as the volt and Ma meters for setting anode/screen volts etc. Added a millivoltmeter so whole thing is self contained. If you want I can send you some pics Zenon "Greg" wrote in message ... I was wondering if anyone's built the RAT tube tester. I'm trying to get a logical layout for the panel and the components.
