In Reply to: RE: At one time you could go to Thrifty's Drug Store and test your tubes for free. posted by DannyR on November 18, 2015 at 19:56:03:
The one in my neighborhood drug store was about the size of a small ATM. The panel with all the sockets was at waist height and rested on top of a locked cabinet containing new tubes. There was colorful enameled advertising sign above the panel. The whole thing was probably 5' tall with sign and all. My family never used it though. My dad had a fear of electricity and would NEVER even have considered opening the back of the TV for fear of electrocution. He always called the repairman - which is another story. Still recall people showing up to that drug store with a shoe box of tubes (I assume every tube in their TV) and testing them all trying to figure out which one was the culprit.
