Re: Hickok 600A Tube Tester

I'd bet the 5V4G would throw off calibration. I can tell you that I've seen Hickok's with 80's sub'd for 83's and it doesn't work well. The 5V4G is certainly closer, but why bother.

Remove the 5V4G, and solder in a pair of 1N4007's. Works perfectly, cost around $0.20 and reduces 2A of load on the transformer.
