 I found out, after I'd bought and had it refurbed and calibrated some years ago, that the 536 doesn't have settings for some tubes I use. It's been a while since I last looked, but I checked again and don't see a data chart for vintage and foreign tubes for the 536. Has anyone come across one?

I do have a data set for what looks like the Hickok 533A, 600, and 605A, and except for small differences in bias and/or English settings, the rest of the settings are the same as the ones on my 536 for those tubes that show up in both charts. It still is missing some tubes, but is there any way to adjust the differing parameters so I can get useful readings for the tubes that are on that chart but not on mine?

 Here is the service manual for the 536 you can download.The only options you would have is to find someone with an updated tube data supplement or,if someone did the calculations already..Subscribe to a couple of Hickok forums and you will probably score what you need.
