Re: testing 5u4's on TV-7

Well, unless you break off pins, the 7 pin socket is too small :)

Seriously, it's the octal socket - but the TV7 does a poor job testing 5U4's. The B+ is only 150v. A 5U4 will rarely test bad on a TV7 unless they're REALLLY shot (or shorted) - but may arc over nicely in an actual amplifier/tv.
