Don't use the roll chart on the 648. Sometimes the data is wrong, and other times, it doesn't show early tubes (if you test those). Vacuum Tubes, Inc has created a complete updated manual organized in an easy fashion, and with most of the tubes you'd ever need to test.

First, purchase the manual:

Then purchase this calibration tube:

Instructions to calibrate come with the tube. You may need to recap the meter, but it's pretty simple.
