I bought my Hickok 580 (their first all solid state tester on par with the 539) 2nd owner at a ham fest in 1987 for $50; it was and still is in mint physical condition. It now needs some minor repairs like the early generation silicon diodes falling apart and a re-cap. Talk about a return on investment 25 years later; they are going for $500-$1,500 on that "auction" site now, top dollar being in the Asian countries. I should probably think about selling it since I'm not really into (or have the itch for) tube stuff anymore.
