....I had no idea! I have an Eico 635 tube tester, and I never gave it a second's thought!As soon as I read your post I ran into my shop and unplugged it! I've been in the habit of just leaving it constantly on....ouch!
Do you know if mine has an 83 in it? (Yeah, I can take the back off and look....just if you already know).
If it does, should I replace it with an eliminator before it blows....when an 83 burns out, does it take the iron with it?
best, charles
"It ain't a comeback until it's left the shop" Jimmy Dunne, the first man to drive a VW Beetle faster than 200 mph, and he has the forehead scar to prove it; I will always honor him for taking a chance on me when I wanted to be an engine mechanic.
