10 Western Electric 404A 5847 F-52983 tubes. Tested on WE Cardmatic Tester.
The tubes are only labeled with the Western Electric 404A and F-52983, not with 5847 (which are the same tubes).
The tubes were tested on a Calibrated Cardmatic.
During the tests the tubes were checked for H-K leakage, shorts, and gas.
The cardmatic scale is from 0 to 100. 50 marks the the transition from replace to good. A reading of 100 does not mean the tube measures 100% of the gm listed in tube manuals.
For a 404A tube a reading of 73.5 equals the gm specified in the tube manual.
