Tubes are tested using a Hickok 752A, voltages verified with a calibrated Fluke 177. Tubes are warmed up in the tester, ~5 minutes, before measurements are performed. Values should be considered nominal, and may differ slightly if tested in other tube testers. All tubes are checked for Leakages, Shorts, and Excessive Gas. If a tube does not pass all three checks, it is not listed.

Description/Results:
A note about calibration of test equipment (many listings state calibrated tube testers are used in their testing). The test equipment must be on a calibration schedule with periodic re-calibration. A calibration certificate means that at the time of the calibration the test equipment was calibrated to a given set of specifications. First, one must understand what those set of specifications are to make sure that the critical performance parameters were included. Once the test equipment has been calibrated, often by a third party, it is shipped/moved to other lab bench/etc. At any time after calibration, the test equipment could incur damage/misuse/mishandling/etc. - and it is not always visible or readily detectable. When the test equipment is re-calibrated, if it is found to be within specifications, then there is a reasonably high assurance that measurements made between the calibrations are valid. If, at re-calibration, the test equipment is found not to be within specifications, then those out-of-specification parameters need to be analyzed to determine if previous measurements may not be valid.
