5 pin tube tester

Does anyone know a brand of tube tester that would test a 5 pin tube? I would prefer to get by as cheap as possible. I bought a bunch of tubes and have come across some that my tester was not designed for. One tube I'm particulaly interested in testing is a 2E22. I also have 6 pin tubes that do not appear in my tube measurement guide. Such as a OD3W. Very interesting tube! I would be curious to know what it was ( can be ) used for.

Guys, I stand waaaay corrected. I think that I have a few floating around in my tube box if anyone is in need. Consider it penance.

Herman,

Some tubes have marks but most of what is in question has nothing. These look to be of the pre amp type.

I have many large tubes thought that I can read the numbers but am not able to test on my tester. But for now I will wait until I decide if I'm going to pursue the tube quest further. I orginally bought this mess of tubes becuase of a couple that I wanted. They came very cheap. Some of these are really cool looking. To bad I can't find a use for them.

Some body sent me a e-mail expressing an interest in some of these tubes. However I misplaced the e-mail. If you want you can write me again and I will send you a list of variuos tubes.
