My Eico 625 does 6CA7's, and a lot of other funky tubes too. Pretty sure it came out in the late 50's, so your tester much be a lot older I'm guessing? It does list a procedure for trying 'new' tubes, so it should be possible to figure out settings for one not listed. (pdf page 7, manual page 6)

Perhaps the manual of your unit says something similar?
