6DJ8 measurement error on Hickok 600A


My Hickok 600A measurement result is way off the spec of 6DJ8 tube. The tester is calibrated. I can get good consistent reading on 12ax7 tube. But i can only get ~7500 reading on 12000 tubes for 6DJ8. Anyone has the same problem on Hickok tester? Any idea how to solve it? Thank you in advance.

600A manual

I have a Kickok 6000A. For a 6DJ8 the roll chart shows 7000 Mutual Conductance / MICROMHOS.

For a 12AX7 the roll chart shows 1250 MICROMHOS.

Mutual Conductance/ Micromhos, 9250

Where are you setting the English for the Mutual Conductance/ Micromhos test? The red dot near 92? Then use/read the 15000 scale?

Thank your for your reply Jea48. I did set the tester as you mentioned. I still get about 7000 reading on new tubes (should be around 9250).

Cygnus_859,

Are the new tubes you are testing actually labeled 6DJ8 tubes or are they labeled 6922 tubes?

6922 ( Hickok 600A tube settings and Mutual Conductance readings.)
6.3 EV-7608-0 27 90 P4 6500 Triode #1. R
6.3 EV-2103-0 27 90 P4 6500 Triode #2.
Mutual Conductance/ Micromhos 6500.

What you are reading sounds more like a new 6922 tube.

7308 ( Hickok 600A tube settings and Mutual Conductance readings.)
