[FARC] Fw: Need Help with Tube Testing on my Ranger II

WA3CGU Glen, K3ARN Charlie,  both of whom monitor the 146.73
Frederick repeater.  Of the two Glen is the easiest to reach.    Glen
also is a regular at the FARG second Saturday of the month breakfast
held at the Golden Corral restaurant in the Francis Scott Key Mall complex,
Frederick, 8:00 a.m., coming up this Saturday.  Glen does not have a
computer or Internet however.

If I talk to Glen on the radio I'll pass along your request about the tube
tester.   Glen restores old radios and is a member of the Antique Radio
Association so if he doesn't have a tube tester he might know who does.

Hi!



I thought maybe you could point me in the right direction!  I am currently 
in the process of restoring a Ranger II, as part of my "retirement plan" to 
create the early-60's station that I always wanted as a kid.  I am in the 
process of recapping the rig which is in working condition, but I would like 
to test the tubes before putting it back on the air. All the tubes but one 
are the Johnson originals. Unfortunately I don't have access to, or even a 
lead on who in the area (I like in Gaithersburg) might have a decent tube 
tester, so I thought I would try one of the local ham clubs.  Any 
information or leads would be gratefully appreciated.



Tnx and 73
