Use of Wildly Imbalaced 12AX7's

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I picked up several Sovtek 12AX7 LPS tubes for sacrificial purposes. Presently I don't play vinyl much and don't want to use up any good tubes in the phono sections of the various Fisher instruments I have. So, I grabbed these at auction for fairly cheap for the purpose of simply loading down the circuit. When I tested them in my Triplett 3423, one side of a couple of tubes pegged the meter! I'm just wondering if using them would cause any damage for the purpose I've stated.

Thanks!
