roll-chart
info
The PDF include scans of my TV-2B/U roll chart. The tester was manufactured by Victoreen Instrument Co. The serial number is 357. The order number is 39186-PP-58-A3-(51). This information may help identify the chart generation and issue date. The chart was first copied at 150% enlargement and then scanned onto 20 standard pages. The first ten pages list tube types in numerical/alphabetical order from top to bottom on each page. The second group of ten lists tubes in numerical/alphabetical order from bottom to top on each page. That is same format as exists on the roll chart itself. I have also included a copy/scan of the actual tube testers decal that defines each item on a given listing line such as "Tube Type", "Test", "Func", "Selectors", "Filament" "Bias" and so forth across the chart. This decal is best printed onto somewhat thick and stiff glossy photo paper and then trimmed so that it can be used with the roll chart pages to set up the tester controls. Frequent users of the tester can probably skip the decal as they may have memorized the set-up procedure nomenclature on the chart.
