Description: GE 14GT8 tube pro Sencore tested "LikeNos" Each section (2 diode sections, and 1 triode section) tested good emission (WITH LIFE TEST ENGAGED) and without shorts or leakage on our professionally calibrated Sencore TC28 Mighty Mite tube tester. Photos show each section being tested. IMPORTANT TESTING NOTE: some tube testers, such as most B&K models, severely overdrive the triode section of 14GT8 and therefore you cannot rely on the test results of that triode section test (which is at pin 8). *MANY* 14GT8, tested in such a tester, will test the triode section falsely weak. The RCA datasheet for 14GT8 lists the triode section as 0.7ma plate current (which is less than 1ma). The B&K tries to drive the triode section well beyond 15ma. THAT IS AN IMPROPER TEST. You cannot test a triode designed for 1ma operating current, by driving it at 15ma+, and expect it to pass. That is flawed test parameters. The Sencore Mighty Mite correctly drives the triode section at a proper cathode current level, and is therefore a valid test. [INV1]
