A properly made SS replacement will NOT have resistors in series with the 83. Quite frankly, if the one you made had them, you did it wrong. And of course the series resistance will change readings with current draw.A properly made SS device works VERY WELL.
Plus the 83 tube is not plentiful anymore. Maybe at one time, but not now. I have 45 of them, and that may be the largest stash anywhere. Our friends at Antique Electronic Supply now show "Call" in the price column for 83s. That's not 'cause they're overstocked.
