Several people have remarked that a 6AS7-only tester with multiple sockets (like 8 at least) would be desirable.The tester could be used as a burn-in rack as well, in either filament-only or under-load modes. When under-load, you could just rotate a selector to compare the tubes based on plate current. Current would be read as a voltage across some small (1 ohm) cathode resistor.
I do like the idea of testing the small tubes as well.. but it would add a lot more complexity to the tester. I need to sketch out some concepts / schematics and see what can be done, within the $500 price point I'm trying for. There has to be an elegant / clever way to do this..
