Need Sylvania 219/220 tube tester settings for 6DJ8

I have a Sylvania 220 tube tester, which uses the same settings as their 219 tester. I would like to test a few 6DJ8 type tubes, but the internal rolodex doesn't list 6DJ8, 6922, or 7308. I believe they were included on the supplement manuals which came out later.

If anyone could pass along the settings, I would appreciate it.

I'm still working on this. I found tubes which used the same settings as 6DJ8s on two other tube testers, about 10 in all. But then only 2 of those were in the Sylvania rolodex. So I tried those settings, one didn't work at all, the other, for a 6BA7, did seeming enable me to run an emissions test on the 6DJ8. But what I really want is the combined emissions & transconductance reading so that I can try to match some tubes. So far no luck on that, despite trying about 100 different settings on top of the emission test settings of the 6BA7.

I did locate settings for 6BQ5s and those are working great.
 
Try settings for 6DT8 or 6ES8

Both are same pinout and the latter has a transconductance almost the same. They should also be able to sub for each other in most circuits
