I have a Simpson model 305 tube tester with an operator’s manual dated 1954 which contains tube chart data. I am wondering if there are any newer tube chart data that can be used to test 1965 era tubes, such as, 6EU7 and 6GW8? Icon_confused

I've never seen any. Coletronics produced data books for several popular testers after their manufacturers gave up on them, but I don't know about Simpson.

Why not just go to Simpson's website, Tech Support page and make a request there.
They still have Model 260 multimeter info online, maybe they can help you.

Chuck,

It was a good idea but Simpson said they don't support items that are more than 7 years obsolete.
