[Hallicrafters] Hickok 539C advice

[Thomas Bewick]

Those audiophiles have driven up the prices of testors to redicuolous
prices, but that is the most I have ever heard of one being listed for.
It would be cheaper to just buy a bunch of NOS tubes and swap them when you
need one until you find a keeper and you would still end up ahead, and with
a nice supply of tubes to boot.
