WTD : Require testing of valves

[lilolee]

I'm in Maidenhead and I have about 100 valves I'd like to have tested.

Obviously I can't travel until lockdown has been eased, but can anybody help?

You could try these

https://www.watfordvalves.com

Or Anthony at

Tube distinction is a forum member

Both would charge and require you to send the valves in by courier :)

[lilolee]

I wasn't expecting it to be free.

I will be selling these on so I might just list the Double Triodes.

I would like the numbers for the Power Tubes though.

OK ,no need for the thanks for the links , Oh I didn't get one so that's OK

[lilolee]

:peace:

I did know of both of those, I was looking for someone more local.

[Filterlab]

Are you delivering them in person then?

[Jazid]

I can do it for you. I will also charge because it'll be more than a day of my time, but I'm more local - W. London.
If you're interested please PM me a list of valve types and quantities, what you want them tested for, and I'll give you a PM back with a price.
Re. tests I can do the following:

Standard AVO Mk 4 series:
Filament continuity.
Cold and hot leakage
C/H insulation
Emmissions (Dynamic)
Transconductance (Dynamic)
Gas.

I can also offer static emmissions and transconductance up to 200mA/1kV, 0 to -150Vg, for some valves eg. 300b (only B4 bases currently) if you believe they are worth the time and trouble.

Many thanks for getting back to me. I have already agreed to pay @toprepairman a visit when lockdown eases. If that doesn't happen I'll be in touch. BTW mainly KT66, EL34 and various rectifiers. I'm going to check heater continuity of the double triodes myself.
