All service performedby Degreed Electrical Engineers with over 46 years of experience designing and servicing Tube andSolid State equipment and Tube Testers.
Bought a Hickok Military series TV-10 tube testeron ? Now what? It is most likely out of calibration like 99% of thembeing used. Our Company CTech Electronics will calibrate your tester according to Hickok standards, with (2) calibration tubes as a reference. The service assumes a working unit.The calibration consists of:
- Check operation of all switches and check tube sockets, clean and tighten as required
- Check meter operation for sticking, zero set and full scale sensitivity. Adjust as required.
- Replace all Electrolytic capacitors (as required at extra cost).
- Check all other capacitors and replace as required
- Check fuse lamps
- Check neon bulbs and operation of short detection circuitry
- Check the 5Y3GT and #83 tubes
- Calibrate all voltages according to Military factory calibrationprocedures using a high accuracy voltmeter with proper impedance
- Make All POT adjustments
- Lightlyclean front panel and case
- Check the unit with a variety of good and bad power and small tubes
- Provide a checklist and instructions on how to use the newly calbrated shunt dial.
- Your unit will operate as accurately as it possibly can.
The calibration cost does not include the cost of any required parts replacement/labor, orlabor needed to unsolder and resolderthe halves of the shunt/english control to put the unit back into alignment. There is generally a$45.00 additional charge for this service. You will be notified if this is the caseThere will be an additional charge if parts need to be replaced. Most times this is not required to get the unit to calibrate, if the unit is in working condition.
Typical turn around is generally 5-7 working days. The shipping calculator is a place holder on return shipping. We will determine shipping when the unit is done.
We prefer Paypal.If you agree to replacement parts, we will bill you for the parts and labor via PayPal.
In the event your unit can\'t be calibrated, or you decide you don\'t want to do it because of parts needed, you only pay a 90.00 bench fee and return shipping, and the balance of your payment will be refunded
