Hickok 6000 Tube Tester Restoration - Complete Calibration Part 1 of 2

Dive into the first part of a comprehensive calibration process for the Hickok 6000 tube tester restoration project. Follow along as the video demonstrates the initial steps of the calibration procedure, adhering to the guidelines outlined on tubesound.com. Begin with the turn-up process, allowing tubes to reach optimal temperature, and conduct the short lights test. Move on to voltage testing, adjusting the meter for half deflection and ensuring accurate readings. Learn how to assemble a stand to eliminate gravitational effects on measurements. Proceed with testing and adjusting the 2.5vac reading using a 6L6 tube configuration. Discover creative solutions for adapting tests without a 1000ohm/V voltmeter, including the use of various shunts. Observe the plate voltage and high screen tests, noting the specific voltage requirements and tolerances for each. Gain valuable insights into the intricacies of tube tester calibration and prepare for the continuation of the process in the subsequent video.
