Tube may be used (which is actually a good thing for calibration tubes).
Tube in picture are just representative, not the actual tube you will receive.
We use brand name tubes such as RCA, Sylvania, Tung-Sol, etc. for making these sets.
Typically the 6L6 is a metal tube, which are very good for this purpose.
These tubes are tested for shorts / gas before calibration
Tubes tested at 250v plate, -20v grid.
A few common tube testers that have µmhos readout on their dials include:

If you are looking to calibrate a TV-7 tube tester, please see my other auction for tubes marked specifically for them.
You will need to find the calibration instructions for your tube tester on-line and use them. These tubes will ensure you have calibrated them correctly as they have been marked by a known recently calibrated tube tester.
