Tube tester recomendation
 

I know we have discussed tube testers on here before. What I am looking for is a good recomendation for a testor that will test the older 4 and 5 pin tubes. I have one that works fine for more modern tubes, but I just acquired a box of older tubes and would like to test them. Not looking for expensive. A decent emission testor would be fine.

I use an older weston for early tubes, works good.

I would say if all you want to do is test a box of tubes, it my be just as easy to find a fellow collector who is local and borrow his TV7 for the afternoon.

I have an old Superior Instruments TV-11 that I have no use for. It has a great vintage look of that period and is very clean. It has a wood case. Seems like it needs a rheostat. The one that is used for the "line" setting. Other than that good to go. All it does is the old tubes. Shoot me a PM if you or anyone else wants it. I will take $30 plus shipping.
