Taylor 45c Valve Tester

Taylor Valve Tester 


My main Valve(tube) tester
and very reliable
So simple to use, but you must be aware that there are a number of versions
and some valve(tube) data listed is WRONG
find a copy of the amendments

When it arrived it had slight wear in the “Test Selector “ switch but with a bit of switch cleaner and electrolube contact grease it works fine and I can put up with a bit of mechanical wobble


This can test all types of normal valves , Diodes , Triodes , Pentodes, Tetrodes, indirect or directly heated.

Tests:
Inter electrode leakage/shorts
Mutual conductance
Plot Ia/Vg at a range of parameters

Fully functional and used regularly
