Philips Cartomatic III Tool

Disclaimer:Although all efforts were made to create a flawless database it can never be ruled out that it contains no errors. Therefore this tool is provided "as is". By using this tool you accept the fact that I can not be held responsible for any damage that may occur to your tester or valves when using Cartomatic test cards that were created based on the information provided by this tool.

Lookup testcard layout	Use this option if you are looking for the layout for a certain testcard Currently the database holds 1272 testcards that can be used to test 1934 valve types. If a valve is in the database this tool will list: Testcard layout Testcard label Socket pinout Adaptor photo Tester setup
	Enter valve type

Identify unknown card
	If you have a test card that has lost its label you can do a reverse lookup in the database.


General information
	Section with additional information about the Cartomatic series test equipment GM7629, GM7630 and GM7633. Here you will find an overview of the adaptors that have to be used to test valves that don't have a P-base There is also "do it yourself" information about how to make the required adaptors. Last but not least all documentation I was able to get about the Cartomatic series testers is stored here for download Note: If the documentation is not listed here then I don't have it, so don't bother asking.

	The database was filled with the help of some fellow Radio collectors and Cartomatic III users listed below. Hugo Sneyers Maarten Gudde Hessel de Greeuw Rob Bijman Walter van der Eyken Without them I don't know if I ever would have finished copying the 61 pages from the Cartomatic card reference book into Excel so the data could be 'easily' imported into the database. I also like to thank the people and organisations below for providing documentation and information: Frank Philipse Henk Vocks Jaap Wolterson John Kik Jacques Hermans Philips Museum Eindhoven Thomas Nickel John Hupse
