Well, my old Knight Tube Tester died on me a few days back. Was testing some tubes when it started to act erratic and then the needle went all the way to zero and stayed there. Tubes quit lighting on it and even the lights on the tester dimmed and started to flicker. So, it appears I will be on the look for a new tester in the near future. I want to find one that does all the tubes from the 20s clear up through the late compactrons if possible. What make would work the best and what prices should I expect to see?
No matter where you go, there you are.
