How can I check an amplifone tube to make sure it's good?

I have two tubes and a set of amplifone boards.

How can i check the tubes to make sure they are good?

there are links to pictures of the items on page 4 of this thread:

The tubes are not set up and converged.

The only color vector game I have is a star wars with a wells 6100 in it.

I also have an asteroids with a B/W vector in it.


can i check for neck glow without setting up the tubes?

just something to show the tube is working properly

thanks
 
A rejuvenator is the only way to check the emissions of the guns.

However, your tubes are either NOS or rebuilt with new guns, so they absolutely are good. No real need to 'test' anything on them, just install parts and get to converging :D

If you have a potential buyer giving you trouble, tell them to pound sand. The tubes most certainly work.

A CRT tester/restorer (rejuvenator) is the correct way to test the tube. If you don't have one, there might be someone local with one.
