He may be thinking of the Kenwood TL-922

Subject: Re: [Amps] Testing Tubes with a Henry 2K
Well... My 2K (original) is wired in parallel. It is also designed for
3-400's and won't accept a 3-500 unless you change the chimneys and
change the heat dissipation caps to low profile ones or lower the
sockets...

The Henry 2K series amplifiers have the filaments in series
so yuoust always have two tubes in the amp.. The manual explains why
Henry
made this choice. You can test a tube by having one known good tube in
the
amp as a constant. After done with the spare tubes put the best in the
amp
instead of the original constant tube. The measurements will be relative
but at least you have some indication of usefulness. I love my 2K--3 but
to test tubes I use my SB-220 which has filaments in parallel

I have three used 3-500Z tubes I'd like to test. Can I safely test them
one at a time in a Henry 2K? My thought is this will allow me to
better classify each tube individually and perhaps better match two of
the
tubes. Providing the tubes prove useable.
Not sure it matters, but the Henry has had the HV power supply upgraded
with new electrolytic caps and the rectifier tubes replaced with high
voltage "potted" diodes.
Any thoughts or comments?
Thanks Brett N5SQK
