bjh, thanks so much for posting that tube sound link.

About 20 years ago I picked up a clean 707 at a swap meet. I contacted B&K and was able to buy both the manual and tube charts at that time. I went through the calibration steps without any difficulties.

I'm not knowledgeable on electronics but the 707 has served me well over the years for occasional basic testing. Due to the era of its design it does not test some older tubes such as 300Bs. But the QuickCheck function is great for a rube like me and it has covered 90%+ of my needs.
