Tube Testers in NorCal?
« on: 8 Oct 2017, 11:21 pm »
Dear Friends.....I am moving again, and this time cleaning out all my gear and I have several old tubes of unknown quality that I would love to sell or give away, but first need to know the condition that they are in.  I do have a few high quality ones that I would like to sell, but after recently selling one that turned out to be bad, I would like to check them out first.....

I am in Sonoma now, but mobile if anyone has a tube tester let me know.

Cheers,
Morgan

Al Lashers electronics in Berkeley.  Call first to make sure they still have their tube testing machines.

I honestly don't have a complete list.....need to sort through them as I'm cleaning out all my gear and the garage!   Are you nearby?

Halsted Electronics (HSC) in Santa Clara, same caveat, call ahead.  Bet you can't leave there without buying something...

My long-time tube tech is Shane at Tube Sonic in Sacramento.  He has one of the most comprehensive tube testers available, testing parameters that few others do.   You can hook up with him at Tube Sonic on the web.   Top-notch guy who lives and breathes tubes.
