RE: testers

Look for a Weston 981 Type III or a Heathkit TT1. They both were designed by the same engineers. Weston and Heathkit were owned by the same company. The Eico 666 and 667 are also nice if they have been taken care of. Just don't buy an emission tester and insist on a transconductance tester with a built in oscillator that applies a signal to the grid of the tube. Testers this old are gona need some repair or rejuvenation like replacing electrolytic caps and maybe a few worn out tube sockets so get yourself psyched up for that. Ray
