Roger Kennedy has gone incommunicado! Roger has serviced my Hickok 539B tube tester for about fifteen years now. The last work he did on it was a big job; he replaced the power transformer with a new one. Finding someone to manufacturer the PT took over two years. Well, a few months ago, I noticed it was not testing 6DJ8 or 6ES8 tubes correctly. I tested tubes that were known new, as well as ones that had been tested on another Hickok I have. It tested them as low, or the meter would go up and then drift down to below minimum. This behavior is not happening when testing any other tubes that I have tried. I wrote to Roger back on Janyary 7th. I followed up after a month or so and then called twice and sent two more emails. No replies! Has anyone else tried to reach him and been successful? Thanks, Steve |
