Post by: Tubefly on 19 Apr 2021, 01:23 pm

I found this on Ebay this morning. Right in my tube sweet spot with what it will test.

Well not expensive prices, seems it measure only parameters associated to emission, what not tremendous useful if one buy new tubes, unless one are a tube broker and will matching tubes for sale, its missing gas measurement capability, otherwise looks good by what I can see.

A cathode heather for getter activation capability are much more useful to me than a tube tester to prepare NOS tubes for use IMO.

Wow.  Tube testers have gone up!  Over $300 for testing only power tubes...
An Eico 666 or 667 should be in the same price range or lower, and test a lot more.
