Uffda. IMPORTANT!!!!! Diodes must be connected from the opamp input pin to +15V power and -15V power. This is to protect the opamp. There will be a drawing on my website. www.la6nca.net/homebrew/tubtester/index.htm

The automated voice works well although your English is more than good enough and sounds better.

The english is quite good, but you know, I like to hear your voice and read the subtitles 😄

A separate web site for this valve tester would be very helpful. The English speaking voice is OK and so are the subtitles. Nice project. Music was a bonus. Many thanks. Best wishes.

Thanks for the helpful comment. It's fun making videos when I get nice comments.

Amazing! It looks so simple when you make it. I will definitely add this to my list of must make projects!

Fantastic job and great sounding tubes demonstrated.

Actually you can check for shorts, microphonic's and life strength just by plugging the suspect tube into a working amp.

Excellent work Helge! That's quite a neat tube tester. To be honest, I prefer when you speak Norwegian and translate your script into English subtitles, but the synthesized voice was surprisingly good!

Interesting project, thanks for the video. As for the voice - I prefer to hear you and read subtitles.

You have some really good episodes. I always enjoy them. Especially the old WW2 equipment from Germany. I'd like to see more of the RV and G-Wagon in ham radio videos 👍.

Nice project. I think your English is good that I do not need subtitles. Practice will only make it better.

The robot voice pronunciation is quite comical at times, particularly with words like "Kilo" and "Anode." I'm OK with reading subtitles!

@LA6NCA 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. I need to learn how to use this in a good way. I can practice speaking more English myself.

@p1nesap 4 ай бұрын

Same, prefer closed captions & listening to Norwegian. Or, dub your English over video, it's good enough. This voice doesn't know basic pronunciations. Cool vintage tubes!

This was an excellent video. I'm thrilled seeing all the tunes in operation.

I’ll definitely undertake this project when details of the schematic are available. It’s so much better for amateur use compared to factory tube testers that were used by technicians when they had to fix tube equipment in batches and wanted to save every minute of their tedious work.

@LA6NCA 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Schematic is in the video. I will make a website later.

@davidgrey943 4 ай бұрын

What a great idea for testing a wide variety of tubes with a minimal outlay of cash are you happy for the viewers of your channel to copy the schematic to build their own version of the circuit. Another great project from you.

Always hold the socket when removing a tube. Otherwise, you risk pulling it apart. Den engelske tale er nem at forstå. :-) ( gætter på du forstår Dansk )

@LA6NCA 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the information about the tube socket. I have received comments on this on Facebook. I did not know this even though I have worked with tubes for many years. Great to hear from Denmark. I'm there a lot with our motorhome.

@@LA6NCA The glass flask is glued to the base, especially old tubes can slip and tear the connections.
