Frank - First, be sure to connect your counter to Pin 19 rather than Pin 21. You may be able to get enough shift by changing C1006 to 47 pF. Sometimes spreading or compressing the turns on L1004 will buy a little more shift. Be sure the 10R bus voltage is at least 9.97V. It's also

The good ones cost an arm and a leg. Hickok and BK are probably the ones you'll see most often referred to as good ones. Most radio and TV repair businesses used BK tube testers. Hickok made tube testers for the military as the TV-7 series. The very best ones do their testing at frequencies far
