I'm writing a program for my intro to embeded systems class, to replace the instruction manual for my B&K Dyna Jet 606 tube tester. I need to have it finished by wednesday and don't have time to coppy all of the tubes in the settings part of the manual. I'm going to try to include the apporximately 50 most common types from radio, TV, and HiFi. The oldest types the Dyna Jet tests are octals and loctals, so I can't use anything that pre dates them. See my similar posts in other parts of this forum(and possibly VK).

Thanks, Tom C.
