Atma-Centric tube tester (trial baloon)

Posted by Legendre (A) on November 23, 2004 at 09:06:17

This is an idea I've been toying with for some time.. building a dedicated tube tester for Atma-Sphere equipment. I'm curious if there would be enough interest to make it worth the while to build & sell a run of them.

Very few knobs or switches.. dedicated test sockets for 6AS7, 6SN7, and 12AU7/12AT7. Transconductance test for the small tubes, real-load DC test for the power tubes.

Alternately, omit the small tubes (since they are easily covered by any other tube tester) and build only a dedicated 6AS7 tester, that tests the devices under the same load conditions that are seen in the equipment. This might make better sense, as I know of no tester that can test a 6AS7 under real loads.

Finally, what would a reasonable price-point be for either of these two proposals?

Anyway, just kicking it around..
Bill
