I could also do it it using a WG6100 with a 19VLUP22 tube, to serve as a reference. Didn't you say you had an Amplifone with a 19VNJP22 tube in your Quantum? If you try it on that, perhaps we could nail this down once and for all. ;-)

The difference in pixel size between a low and medium res tube is very easily
seen. You shouldn't need to count anything.

You won't even need to turn them on. Simply put the two tubes side by side
and the med res tube will have noticeably smaller pixels. If you're comparing
a low res tube and an unknown res tube side by side, and the pixels on both
look the same size, they are. The difference is not that subtle.
