Can you, guys, advise me on the decent tube tester? With all other expenses
I can't shell out a lot, but at the same time do not want to get a junk,hence I am here again. There are plenty of those on the E-bay site, but in my budget category the only thing I can read in the description is "powers up" and no more. In case I pick up the "powers up" one, how difficult to bring it, if needed, to the operational condition? Thanks.
