Compactron tube testing

[dhop1965]

I ran into an estate sale with a RCA tube caddy full with great N.O.S. tubes, and lots of them are Compactron
9 and 12 pin some with plate caps. I want to start experimenting with some high power amps, but I need a way to test these things...I have an EICO 666 tube tester and a EICO 625.Is there a way to retrofit a compactron socket? Or a add on device to measure gain and just to check them? Any advice would be great.

You may ask your question in an appropriate forum, not in the introductions forum.

The best location for your question would be the 'Tube Audio' subforum.

The 666 had an adapter available to allow it to test these tubes. You will probably need to build your own, I doubt its complex, and use the test instructions to make it work. The adapters do show up for sale at times.
