Eh... about 10 minutes. I don't think I'm gonna attempt a rejuv unless I'm 100% sure it's not going to give me anything at all. I'll try it on the tester again, though.

I might do that!

Also, I pulled all the tubes and tested them, of the 19 tubes, 8 or so are bad in one way or another. I think I have replacements, I'll have to check.
