I run into that problem even with old tubes. It's why, besides physical characteristics like not having a certain type socket, I have several testers. I would like to have one, but it just doesn't work that way.
And as far as new tubes and equipment go, I have nothing that tests something like the EL34 which has been common for years now. There should be a similar old school tube that one could use as a reference to set up an old tester.Thank God for the popularity of the 12AX7 and I believe the 6LG and maybe 6SN7. I can handle those.
