EICO 628 Tube Tester

Description: I acquired this tester from a man who owned a repair shop. He passed years back when I got the tester. He said it was in working order but I cannot verify because I don't have any tubes handy. It seems to be in good condition considering the age. I do not see any physical damage and the tube chart is in great condition. Tester information: The EICO 628 was the successor to the very popular model 625, with sockets added to test the newer tubes that were becoming available. In addition to the usual octal, loctal, 7 & 9-pin miniature sockets, EICO added 5 & 7-pin nuvistor sockets, novar and compactron sockets, plus 7 & 9-pin pin straighteners. The 9-pin socket is actually a combination 9 & 10-pin miniature socket. The 628 also has a vastly improved roll chart which rolls freely from end-to-end. The old 4, 5, 6 & 7-pin sockets are gone to make room for the new ones. But the older tubes can still be tested. In fact, the data is still on the roll chart and in the tube data manual (included). All it takes is a simple adapter you can make for yourself from an old 8-pin tube base and the socket of your choice, or you can buy one of the available adapters. The EICO series of test instruments were intended for professional use, and were marketed mostly to radio and TV repairmen through the local electronic parts dealerships, and their construction shows it. The professional looking brushed aluminum panel was designed to inspire confidence in the customer who saw it, and the heavy steel case of this instrument was intended to protect it well. The circuit was licensed from Triplett and is the same as the Triplett 3413. Heath and Knight also licensed the circuit and produced it as the Heathkit models TC-x and IT-xx. Knight testers are known as the KG-600 series. The test data for all of these tube testers is generally interchangeable.
