VERY NICE ! Hickok 800a tester - Calibrated - Plate Current Mod - QuickCal Mod The Meter is face bright and the plastic cover is clear.  Case is in good condition with minimal signs of wear. Its very rare to find one in this nice condition. (please see photos)   The tester has been modified to test Plate Current using the diode test points just under the meter. Instructions on how this works included.  It is important to test idle current when matching power tubes. This tester had the line calibration adjustment pot stock so there was no need to add one. This tester has been modified so that the clunky adjustment rig R15 for bias and reduced screen voltage can be quickly and easily set.  The 83 tube has been replaced with a Solid State Regulated unit for long life and stability.  The 800a Model has the additional sockets for compactrons and will test a full compliment of tube types. Unlike some other Hickok models the 800 series will also test for leakage which is most important in power tubes.  Calibration results -  Plate Voltage = 150.1  (150v +/- 2V ) Screen Voltage = 134.5 (130 +/- 5V ) Reduced Screen = 56.4  ( 56V +/- 2V) Bias -39.5  ( -40 +/- 2V ) Bias @22 = -3.0  ( -3.0 +/- .2 ) Leakage test= pass Filament 6.6 (6.3)  12.7 (12.6)  (+/- 10%)  AC Signal= 2.48V (2.5V +/- .2V) Very good results overall and reads the 6L6 calibration tube right where it should.  The roll chart turns and is dated Fall 71, but I have also included all documentation and test data (including some error fixes) that I have for this model on CD so you don't need to use the roll chart, and can preserve it.   I have extensive test data for the 800 series Including hard to find Western Electric Data for tubes like the 300b.  Included on CD -  800a Manual and Schematic 800a Newer manual (a few parts like the line rheostat are different) 800a Obsolete tube data 800a Foreign tube data 800a - Western Electric Data 800a Supplement Hickok Quick reference Excel sheet to track your most commonly used tubes.  Information on the Plate Current Mod and the Quick Cal mod.  A TV7 reference chart to convert Micromho to TV-7 values.  Shipping to Upper 48 states for a flat rate of $45.

Shipping outside of US where allowed uses EBAY's global shipping program.  Pay Pal only within 3 days of auction close.  Tester will be adequately packed for the journey. I only ship FEDEX insured because they tend to take nicer care during shipping. Damage in shipping is very rare however it is important that if a shipment is damaged you save all packing material and do not try and repair anything yourself before communicating and determining the best course of action.

Otherwise this is an as-is sale no returns unless something is grossly mis-stated or is in error.  
Very Nice condition for its age, please see photos.
