Nice tester Jerry!
I got the 912 for $75, it's in great shape but is missing the 9 pin adaptor.

I have had good luck with my precision. I also have a hickok but I use the precision. I need to go through the Hickok and find a case for it.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
Well after reading this thread I'm glad I picked up the 912, I need another tube tester like a another hole in my head. But could not pass the deal up a box of good tested tube and a 912 (missing lid) for 50$ At least the wife didn't complain she was the one that found the ad for the speakers AK-m for 45$, and another horn speaker for 40$. even helped carry them to the truck!

Nice catch! If I had called that shot, it would've been long gone when I went to inquire.

I know, that's what usually happens to me. This time I got lucky. I have an updated roll chart that was never installed and dated Novenber 1946. Some examples; the installed chart does not list the 35W4 and only the 50A5. The newer roll chart does show the 35W4 and the 50B5 but not the 50C5. I would like to get a more current chart and the 9 pin adapter for it.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
Does anyone have a chart for the 912 newer than November 1, 1946?
I have 2 charts, one is the original from March 15, 1943 and the other is November 1, 1946.
I don't want to take your chart but would like to get some information from it, such as; the settings for a 50C5. My "newest" chart only shows setting for a 50B5.
I went to BAMA and they have the manual but no chart information.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
Now I need to find a 9 pin adapter. I'm sure that will not be easy.

Mine came with the Coletronics Model B-16. Want to borrow it?

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
In case you need any other information from the updated roll chart, here's a PDF of the book form of the roll chart that came with my unit. It also came with two "Tube Test Data" spiral bount booklets that appear to be dated 2-15-71 and 2-15-73 respectively.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
Thanks, but I'm good for now, I have several tube testers and I don't always use the 912. I may try to Google that part number.

Unless I read something wrong, the instructions say to plug the Coletronics Model B-16 into the 9 pin socket. Maybe you have a newer revision which has a 9 pin socket?

Yes, now that you mention it, it does. In the upper right corner. Guess my addon wouldn't help you after all.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
There is supposed to be a 9 pin adapter if I understand it correctly which plugs into one of the other tube sockets.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
Here's a nice looking one;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-Mode-Series-912-Tube-Tester-/350990669113?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b8ac9539
Like mine it does not appear to have a 9 pin socket. Too much money in my opinion.

OK.....I see the brown 9 pin socket in the extreme upper right hand corner.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
I realize it's not much help, but here is a picture of how the 9-pin is connected in.

Re: Precision 912 Tube Tester
It is but it looks to be too effort when I have better tube testers now. I still may decide to make the modification, which is pretty simple, if I ever find the adapter.

Here is the Tube Test Data book that accompanies the Roll Chart in the prior post. This is the one dated 02-15-73.
