Hi Amarbir

Hi Amarbir,

Tons of tube testers available on ebay. Average price is bout 5k. Shipping might double it. congrats!

Though a seasoned tube buyer will know that the same tube tester can be set up anywhich way to make a low testing tube read high hence pedigree and history of satisfied customers comes into play here.

Will have to see the prices you charge...

Regards

Hi,

Not all tube testers are the same.

I understand from our forum member aks07, that a shop in Calcutta has some NOS tube testers(EMC if I am not mistaken).They are the mutual conductance testers and would be useful for you.

Contact Ashok(AKS07) for detais of the shop in Calcutta.

Ashok is a very busy guy and also travels a lot, so if you need to communicate with him, send him a PM and he should respond.

Re Asli and Nakli-I'm not going to respond whether I am serious or not-I thought a long time ago that I cracked a joke and was promptly pulled by the moderator up for "insulting another member"

Good luck. Hickok is a fairly popular brand of tube tester.

Hickok TV-7D/U is one of the best testers. You can get one off of ebay. It may put you about 900 - 1000 USD behind but well worth it according to my audio dealer sources.
