OK, so an old OP gave me his tube tester- rejuve. He stated he had B&Ks but really preferred this RCA model ( WT-333B), for whatever reason. Not a ton of info out there about it, but it does have the manual. Now, on to the issue.
Picked up a star wars with a possible tube issue and want to test it first to see if there are any shorts, havnt powerd it on yet.
Its an Ampliphone, but I have found mixed folks noting what tube model this is. The sticker on the tube is gone, embossing on glass is "19 V 90" noting a 90 deg tube I assume. The manual with this tester is vague and does not include tube models that are super common it appears, the standard harness on it appears correct but I cant find the model numbers of these in there ( I have the other sockets) , the following tubes are know compatibles with the amp I beleive
M48AAW00X
19VJTP22
19VLTP22
19VNJP22
19VMFP22
Take a look at the book, all the 19"V monitors stop at 19v"H"'s

Is there another model I should look for? Or how do I decipher this tester and its manual?...

I don't know about that RCA tester - I've never used one and I don't know what socket corresponds to the arcade tubes... But I do know that an Amplifone tube uses the standard CR23 socket on the B&K, and there's nothing special about it from the tube tester standpoint. Use the same settings you'd use on a G07.
