In Reply to: Best bang for the buck purchase so far... posted by excelit on April 9, 2015 at 14:29:35:
A guy down in Minneapolis had advertised a Heathkit tube tester for $25 on Craigslist. I wasn't cautious enough, and handed him the money as he handed me the box. He then scuttled off into his trailer, and I found a filthy tester with a broken bulb wrapped up in the box. For $25, I just chalked it up to education, and went home.
Three weeks later, I got the tester out and cleaned it up, but I also found four power tubes in the box. They turned out to be a matched quad of NOS EL34-XF1s.
