I have a model 700 since 2000 .

It's a reliable tester for 12 a.. tubes ;less reliable for russian

6922 and e88cc .

Not very useful for power tubes (unless you only want to check

shorts )

Anyway for power tubes you have to check them for real plate

Ip if you want a picture of the real world (450-500 v).

In my experience ,if you want a serious matching ,you need

3 different testers (gm,mu,Ip ,microphonics).

That's why reputable dealears ask premium prices for common

selected tubes (it takes a long time and high rejects percentage )
