Tube Tester

Thinking of buying a used tube-tester. Can you tell me what to look for? Explain some of the terms, e.g. mutual, conductance, emission, etc. Recommendations (Eico, Sencore, Mercury, etc.), model number and why? All I need is a basic type, but I like to know more. Thanks!

Kara Chaffee sells and services Hickok Tube testers among other things. I can't say enough good things about Kara, one of the really good guys in the business. Check out his webpage at www.tubewizard.com

I found around 5,000 tubes listed in the paper for sale. Included with the tubes was a Hickok 752A tube tester. Final price $190.00 for the works! Keep an eye on the paper!
