Products > Test Equipment
Do you have any test equipment in your lab that uses vacuum tubes?
BravoV:
The only one in the house, Heathkit vacuum tube voltmeter, a freebie meter.
Psi:
I have an old graph paper servo plotter that uses tubes around somewhere.
And i saved a magic eye valve from going to the rubbish tip a while back.
Not sure what project i'll use it in.

Gave the only one I've ever had to member Neo in the US as I'll never use it.
He had some project but has never disclosed what. :-//
Still got a box of assorted tubes that I really must throw out unless you want them ?

Only if there's some 12AX7 or EL34 in there. ;D

I have an ESI precision capacitor measuring transformer bridge that uses valves in the tracking oscillator and null detector. The null detector has a sharp bandpass filter that tracks the oscillator over a range of about 20Hz to 20KHz.
Some of the vacuum tubes do not seem to be easily available.
If it starts to fail, I think I might keep the meters, dials, resonant passive components and precision coupling transformers, but replace the valves with a solid state circuits. Maybe make it battery powered.
I also have an old 5MHz BWD oscilloscope that is a transistor-valve hybrid - haven't used it in decades. It was my first scope and I just never felt like getting rid of it. Fantastic triggering.
A basic valve RF oscillator and Vacuum Tube Voltmeter. They could end up being converted to solid state.
