B&K 500 MANUAL

This is the schematic to the B&K 500 tube tester. There are actually two versions; the rectifier tube is different, but everything else is pretty much the same. The bias voltages are slightly different, so here is a quick chart comparing the bias voltages.

Tube Type

Medium Bias Voltage

High Bias Voltage
6AX5
-2.9VDC
-8.1VDC
-18.1VDC
83
-2.5VDC
-7.5VDC
-13VDC
