Restoring all of those would be a pricey endeavor. I've had a few restored in the past two years. While I'm glad I did it for these, some testers I've had in the past I didn't bother with.

Pick the one that tests the most tubes you want to test, and has the best reputation....and go for that one. Do another tester after that to pick up on tubes the first one can't do.

I'm down to:

Hickok 539B
Hickok 539B
Hickok 539A
Hickok 533
Hickok 6000A
Heathkit TT-1
