This is a very nice comb-bound reprint of the instruction manual for the Hickok 533A tube tester AND MUCH MORE. I got the original from a retired Army Signal Corps officer. He spent the last 40 years compiling this information. The first section is the regular operator's manual including several pages of data for testing ballast tubes, a page listing the functions of all of the optional adapters, calibration instructions, and a big 11x17" fold-out schematic. The next section (19 pages) is a copy of the roll chart for the 533A-600A-605A. There is no date or code number. This will save a lot of wear & tear on your roll chart. Next there are two pages of very hard-to-find testing data for Western Electric tubes. The next section (24 pages) is the "Obsolete Tube" listings code number 3200-46 dated October 1957 which covers the older tubes left off the roll chart. You will find hundreds of old tubes listed like 0Z4, 24A, 27, 45, and 80. The next section (26 pages) is the European tube data code number 3200-7S dated 8-1-1964. Here he has written in the American and other foreign numbers for many of the tubes. There are often several European numbers for the same tube.I have added the instructions and testing data for tubes that require the CA-4 and CA-5 adapters Additional useful info I have added: I call this the Ultimate version because I have added lots of extra info: First there are two pages of testing data for Western Electric tubes, including the 300B. Next are three pages of American to Foreign and Foreign to American charts. Next is an amazing 4 page section where he actually created correct test data for tubes that Hickok never provided data for. Next is a 2 page section of test data for electron ray (Eye) tubes that shows how to give them a more complete test than the regular chart does. Both of these sections he created were done for the 800A, so the switch positions are correct but for some tubes the bias settings may vary a bit on the 600A. The way to perfect them for the 600A is to test some new tubes and adjust the bias until you get the proper meter reading. The next section (9 pages) is a very good Foreign to American number chart. The next section (10 pages) crosses over those 4 digit military numbers to their regular equivalents and regular numbers to military. The last section (10 pages) is a collection of Foreign to American cross over charts. 127 pages in all. I've wanted a book like this for years. The pretty color cover and the back cover are protected with clear sheets. Postage is $3.00 in the USA. Foreign bidders are welcome, but please do not ask me to falsify customs documents.
