[Hallicrafters] Tube tester question 6000A.

[Al Manhan]

I recently got a Hickok 6000A on Ebay which I paid a king's ransom for
because it included another island. Lo and behold It came with the standard
new type tube socket island and another island with the old type of sockets.
They are both 12 pin and in searching the net for part numbers there are
two.
Hickok 1050-145  and RSP-4 accessory socket.

Lot's of luck trying to find one!
