Do some searches for tube testers in the archives. Also read the FAQ section above here for info. Just makes sure you buy a complete model in working condition with the roll chart, or tube manual that came with it. Parts are mostly unobtanium for the older testers. Heatkit tt1, Sencore, and some others can be had in your price range. You can also look in your area to find out when and where the boat anchors have their next tube swap/flea market going on. Craigslist in my area has had a few very basic ones for sale over the last year. So check CL in your area weekly for some or post a wanted ad there for free. Good luck! John

- I agree with John, especially about an operating manual and complete-appearing tube charts/lists. - jeffreybehr 12:27:20 02/28/07 (0)
