The B&K Precision Model 747 Dyna-Jet Tube Tester manual provides detailed instructions for setting up and operating the device, including how to use the "Jet-Check" and programmed sections for testing various tube types. It also includes troubleshooting guidance, such as checking for shorts, grid emission, and life expectancy, with specific controls and settings outlined for each test.
Manual Overview
The B&K Precision Model 747 Dyna-Jet Tube Tester service manual provides detailed instructions for testing a wide range of vacuum tubes used in televisions, radios, and audio equipment. The manual emphasizes the tester’s versatility, capable of handling over 2500 tube types. The troubleshooting process involves setting the HEATER and SENSITIVITY controls, followed by using the “Jet-Check” or programmed testing sections. The “Jet-Check” section allows for quick testing of common tubes, while the programmed section requires specific switch settings for less common types. Error diagnostics include a BAD—?—GOOD meter for dynamic mutual conductance tests and a SHORTS lamp for detecting shorts or leakage. Calibration is achieved through proper voltage settings, ensuring reliable readings. The manual provides board-level guidance through detailed tube chart listings, which include socket and switch settings for each tube type. The tester also features a life test switch to assess tube longevity and pin straighteners for maintaining tube integrity. The manual ensures technicians can effectively diagnose and test tubes with precision and reliability.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnoses power-up failures with detailed troubleshooting steps.
- Provides error codes for dynamic mutual conductance testing.

Operation
The Dyna-Jet Model 747 tube tester operates by testing vacuum tubes commonly used in television, radio, and audio equipment. It features two main testing sections: the “Jet-Check” section for popular tubes, requiring only HEATER and SENSITIVITY settings, and a programmed section for other tube types, using program switches to set up test circuits. The tester provides dynamic mutual conductance tests for amplifying tubes and emission tests for diodes and rectifiers. It includes a BAD—?—GOOD meter for displaying results, a shorts test, a grid emission test, and a life test. Dual-section tubes are tested separately, and the tube chart provides set-up instructions for over 2500 tube types. The tester is portable, with built-in pin straighteners and voltage regulation for reliable readings.
