Ok, the positive and negative leads are easily identifiable on a 14 tube to test outside of the shell. I also have. An MX10130D tube I want to test before buying a 7 kit but I have no clue which contact is +/-.
Here is a pic which I'm sure you all are familiar with.. 
Can you tell me which lead is positive and which is negative? Thanks..jp |

This is relevant to my interests. We have a dead 7 at work... I'd like to test the tube.

Thanks rbhoover. Do you know if you can half volt it to test like a 14 or do you need the full 3V? I'm pretty sure it's a O-IV\V tube so it won't flicker at half voltage being it's not auto-gated but to be sure I'm not calling it a dead tube using 1.5v when I need the full 3v to light it up.

I don't believe you can run it on 1.5 volts but I'm not 100% sure... use a CR123 (not a rechargeable one!) and you should be good to go! |
