DESCRIPTION: Type: Vintage General Electric GE Tube Checker TC-3A Vacuum Tube Tester working Part/Model # TC-3A This is An emission checker tests for shorts & cathode (or filament) emission only. The meter reading gives a good-bad reading by virtually tying all the elements of a vacuum tube together (except the cathode & heater) and testing the tube for cathode emission by subjecting it to test as a diode (or rectifier). An emission checker will basically tell you whether a tube is usable or not and give you an indication how strong is the cathode emission. however is good testing for shorts and leakage. Condition: This is a reasonably clean tube tester, except the fabric exterior and the handle is badly torn and vinyl has at the rear bottom as can be seen on photo. I tested several tubes on it and it seemed to work fine, however this tube tester has a separated volt checker and appearance the is not working. there is 3 resistor in the back and one is reading to high I did not want to spend time on this one, I don't see it useful. According to factory calibration specs by using a 50L6 tube will approximately 68 in the good region, I test several tubes and the reading are 62-67-72-70 This is done by using a (variac) AC transformer applying 117 volt, so due to the reading been very close I have not calibrated or replace any capacitor or resistor, there's a old saying if is working fine don't touched. However is at to you if you want to calibrated If it need it. Any farther testing has not been done (sold as is) This Tube tester I'm selling as is It may need calibration,Service, Part or Repair no return on vintage item or refund (sold as is ) It is being sold under the intention that it will need service or repair. to void buyer remorse and dishonesty people, I am listing it as shown in the description.
