Hickok TV-7/U owners

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone who owns this tester has the test data for a KT88 (6550) and a EL84 (6bq5) tube? I just acquired the tester today and the data supplied doesn't have these tubes listed. Thanks in advance.

I assume it would be best to set it at 0 although it could mean that the shunt is irrelevant. I guess you could test it by trying different settings and see if it changes the tube's readings. I'd gradually turn up the shunt setting if you do try it. It's always a drag when something blows up.
