[Hallicrafters] Tube Tester Recommendations

[Bill Gerhold]

I had to purchase (3) tube testers to finally get the tester I wanted.

All (3) units were B&K but all had different accessories.  I am at work
right now so I do not remember what one I settled on but I believe it is the
model 650.  The 650 on its own was limited until I did some research and
found there were accessories like the 610 panel and 615 panel.  These were
outboard units that allowed much more flexibility in the types of tubes that
one could test.  They just plugged into one of the sockets on the 650 main
panel.  Even the tube manual has (2) sections for tubes that can only be
tested on either the 610 or 615 accessory panel.

I regularly scan the auction sites for tube testers but I think I will stick
with the B&K with the 610 panel.  Have not found a 615 panel yet but I'm
looking.  Once I have the 615 panel, I will have everything.
