Tested at 91/94 & 92/95

on a calibrated TV-7D/U tube tester

which is 118/122% & 119/123% of TV-7 Avg. New

Avg. Min. (65%) TV-7 chart & Avg. New (100%) = 50/50 & 77/77

*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)

* B&K 747B calibrated

Test results will 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.

The following definitions are mine as I use them.
'Balanced' refers to comparing the gm test results between the lowest to the highest identical
        sections of a single tube. Within 3% I consider to be 'Balanced'

'Matched' refers to comparing the gm test results between the lowest to the highest of the identical sections of a set of tubes.
     'Matched' I consider to be within 10%. Some call similar 'Gold Matched'
     'Closely Matched'  I consider to be within about 5%. Some call similar 'Platinum Matched'
     'Tightly Matched' I consider to be within 2%.
