Re: Atma-Centric tube tester (trial baloon)

Option two makes more sense than option one since there are testers already for the small tubes.

But option 2 doesn't make much sense to me when you can just use the amps to test the sections of the 6AS7 (I'm assuming that is what you mean by DC load test). Why not just include the test tip jacks in atma-shere amps in the first place? Seems like a simple, cheap thing to do, that adds real value to the customer. And they are pretty much invisible. Maybe only put the jacks in the back rows of an amp if asthectics are impacted. Is there a safety issue with this?

One final thought. Rather than building a batch of testers up, why not offer a 6AS7 test service at the 'factory'? Might be too much of a hassle I suppose.
