What's so confusing? You wanted a source for an 83 and I provided one. Chuck reinforced that you can't sub an 83 with a different rectifier because that tester is calibrated for the voltage drop of an 83.

The only way you'll know if that SS 83 replacement is "good enough" for you is to try it. Most people who pay the $$$ for a Hickok are shooting to be a little closer than just in the ballpark.
