Anyone know what this term means is tube usage? See page 3, of this 12HL7 GE data sheet. And yes, I know it's not a Zero at 8:00 high. :lol:

Thanks!

You'll find detailed information on the topic here......

http://tubesound.com/2010/04/07/tube-te ... be-tester/

But here's the encapsulated "Cliff Notes" version......

"A bogey tube is a tube that is considered to be best representative of an average working tube of that particular tube type. A manufacturer selects a “bogey tube” after testing many many tubes of the same type."

I actually learned the term from my Dad, who kept many television-specific bogey's on his bench when he used to repair sets for friends and neighbors back in the "Admiral", "Philco", and "Curtis-Mathis" days.
