Tool for Ultravalve power tubes?
« on: 13 Mar 2011, 10:25 pm »
Someone is selling one of these on agon at the moment,

(it's the first item, the bias and matching meter).

Anyone try this thing? It looks handy, maybe, but I'm not sure it's quite what I was hoping for (i.e. Wayner's fantabulous dual meter setup). It measures in mA, so one might need to make a conversion from the usual 1.56/1.6 reading. In any case, I already sprung for the fancy Fluke but I like to keep an eye out for better options.

These plug in-line with the power tubes, and is primarily used on guitar amps. Go with Wayne's setup or just buy a cheap DMM.
