Do so at your own risk. See my post above for pin outs for both and the process for testing ...

Obviously, if I skip the simple test - it is at my own risk! Would never blame others for my stupidity

I played the odds enough back in the day, with too many productions of magic smoke and curled up expensive components, to be in the measure 3 times before plugging in camp

remember that when checking for continuity, you must also check for dis-continuity. IE each pin must be mutually exclusive of the non-mapped sockets. You could check for continuity and get a pass without knowing there is a cross solder in place to another pin that would sound for continuity as well.

Put it simply, check that the cold pins are cold and that only 1 hot pin maps to only 1 hot plug on the adapter. Yeah, it takes a while longer, but I'd consider the cost if you do have a cross solder.

edit: these voltmeters can be had for $10 on amazon prime and that includes the 2 day ship!

dayum I love this thread guys - it just keeps going and not fizzling out. It's comic relief at its best. It's helpful and educational. But most importantly, it's the primary contributor to my "like" count.

When bank manager allows, i'm gonna try and get hold of a fabled Swedish 33S30 tube.

Have you managed to get hold of any of these tubes? How do they sound?

Whoa, just checked what those are going for! I thought getting the Psvane 6SN7-SE was kind of splurgy/decadent, but I think I draw the line at a tube that is more expensive than the amp itself
