[Hallicrafters] Fw: Weston Tube Tester 686 Type 9B

[DW Holtman]

Warren,

Try checking the Antique Radio Forum at 
http://antiqueradios.com/cgi-bin/forums/index.cgi

Click on the test equipment forum. There is some very sharp tube tester 
people, like Alan Douglas who wrote a couple of books on tube testers, 
Leigh and easyrider8. . If anyone has information on your tester, 
someone there probably can offer some suggestions.
