The 533 series has a "NORMAL-REVERSE" switch just under the METER. Drizzle a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of DeOxit into the switch from the underside, and exercise it vigorously. If the needle deflects below ZERO, throw the switch to "REVERSE" and test again. The pots and switches may need to be cleaned. DO NOT USE De-OXIT (in any form)on tube testers. You can use a q-tip and 91% isopropyl, or a NON RESIDUE Electronics cleaner / Contact cleaner such as CRC QD Electronics Cleaner or CRC QD Contact Cleaner. Both are @ Home Depot in the Electrical Dept. Use a little as possible and minimize overspray!!!!
There aren't that many electrolytics in it (5 or 6 IIRC). a couple of them are bipolar IIRC. In any event replace them. Check the Diode bridge or P.S. Diodes, and both tubes. PREHEAT the 83 tube (heaters only) with the tube in a vertical position for an hour BEFORE TESTING. It's a Mercury Vapor tube and the mercury needs to congregate at the bottom of the glass envelope before testing. The other tube is usually a 5y3gt.
CLEAN ALL TUBE SOCKETS with DeOxit on an Interdental Brush (looks like a minaturized bottle brush only for dental braces. ) Do this for all sockets, and jacks. This is the only place DeOxit is allowed on Tube Testers.
