I use both the Hickok 6000A and the BK Dyna-Jet 707. They work well, and the
vast majority of tubes I have pre-tested before restoring a Drake have
performed very well.

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
Hi Gary,
I use my 6000A regularly, haven't noticed a great difference between
scales, but don't ck that way often. I can take some specific readings if
you'd like.
Did you make mechanical repairs, or electrical, to the meter? If
only electrical I wouldn't expect a change in linearity,
The Hickoks usually change the level of excitation when you change the
Gm range; that may be causing what you are seeing.

Anyone using a Hickok 6000A? I just bought one and I had to repair the
meter. Not sure if in doing so I disturbed its accuracy.
