HICKOK 580A TUBE TESTER – RECENTLY CALIBRATED/MODIFIED
Trades? Offers?
Very nice Hickok 580A tube tester that has recently returned from check up, calibration and modification by Roger Kennedy (March 2008).
Tests for Mutual Transconductance. Tests almost all audio tubes. Top quality tester. Super high end. Quasi Laboratory. Does not get much better.
Go to Roger Kennedy’s web page to read about the modification (alltubetesters.com). It is significant for this particular tester.
This tester is in very nice physical condition. The outer case has some wear, but not out of the ordinary for this vintage of equipment.
Photos can be found at the following links:

I can provide additional pictures or info on request.
