Summary:
This video shows how the tube tester’s two mechanical straighteners realign bent pins on miniature vacuum tubes. It demonstrates the rotation method used for both nine-pin and seven-pin devices.
Why This Matters:
Reliable pin alignment prevents socket damage and ensures proper electrical contact during testing. These simple mechanical tools help maintain older tubes without applying excessive force.
Content covered in the video:
• Physical layout of the nine-pin and seven-pin straighteners.
• Ten-hole pattern on the nine-pin straightener and absence of an indexing gap.
• Step-by-step rotation technique for correcting bent pins.
• Example using a nine-pin miniature tube.
• Example using a seven-pin miniature tube.
• Practical considerations before inserting tubes into their proper sockets.
