Tube testers

Here is the one Larry mentioned.

I had a quality tube tester, really didn’t use it much. I bought new tubes from well known suppliers that have already done that work. Used tube testing is a crap shoot. An old tube can measure perfect and be at the end of it’s life the next day. Unless you are in the business of selling tubes, skip it and just buy good tubes from good suppliers.

Transcendent Sound made an excellent tube tester kit; discontinued many years ago but if you can find a working unit used, I highly recommend it.

With that said, I hope to replace it with an Amplitrex unit, hopefully one day soon.

For a whole lot less money, this little fella looks pretty cool:

There wasn’t any price listed on the web site. I don’t want to call them but does anyone know the price, +50-?
