which is 115% & 118% of TV-7 Avg. New

Avg. Min. (65%) TV-7 chart & Avg. New (100%) = 46 & 71

*We use the following testers:

*Dan Nelson calibrated TV-7D/U with sweep tube adapters, & digital meter with plate current test at 150V.

*Paul Hart calibrated/modified Westmore 501 (Triplett 3444)

Not tested for noise or microphonics

Test results may differ between various testers for many reasons such as technical design, aging components, etc. So while test results are a good indication of quality there can be some difference between the many differently designed & maintained testers.
