Anyone with a tube tester in Chicago area?

Is there anyone in Chicago area with a tube tester to help me test some NOS tubes? I don't mind paying a small fee for troubles.

Thank you.

I know of a few stores....


20th Century TV repair, on Montrose at the Ashland instersection.  A few storefronts down from La Sierrra (excellent food).    50 cents a tube.


Also, Triode Electronics at 5000 W. Iriving Park is a great local tube resource.


Call ahead for both & each have decent websites.

Triode Elec has a lot more testing equip...

Thank you Machine for the kind offer, but it's just too far from me.
I think the Triode Electronics is the closest to me and my best option.
