In the Thread: Get, or made up a tube tester, it’s necessary
Post Subject: It isn't (read, is) about the moneyPosted by Paul S on: 1/7/2007
Deja vu: I seem to remember getting about this far on the subject any number of times. Not only do I have fairly limited applications, but I also noticed that many of the testers do not even allow the kind of testing I would want to do, or each is limited to one or two of the several functions I need.
I remember some of your photos showing your DMM hooked into a test(er) loop.
And, no, I never realized the damn things used AC! How weird is that?!
But few of those portable testers test at actual working voltages, etc.
Have you seen this one?: www.amplitrex.com/at1000.html
As close as I've seen so far to covering what I want, but a $200 adaptor is required for the 6C33C, which pushes it to $2,600, right out of the chute.
I could just go ahead and pay Lamm's price for lots of critical ML2 tubes and still have enough left over to make a nice (tax deductable) contribution to the GOP 2008 war chest, maybe get myself a dinner invitation...
