Sadly the tube tester was not entirely well represented. Turns out it was
the model "B" and it was missing parts. The photo I had been shown was not
the item for sale! I felt it not worth the trouble for the $300 price and
left it. Sorry to get all excited, but so was I.
Knowing how hard it is to find a good Hickok for a great price, I will
continue to keep my eyes open.
Thank You for all the comments and help.

Hi Larry,

   Something else for you to consider.  I have two tube testers, a Hickok 6000A and a Laboratory 501 (identical to a Triplett 3444).   The 501 is probably the better tester but I have been using the 6000A for 15 years or so and am familiar with it.  The 501 is in very, very good condition, I last used it 5 years ago.  Before I go eBay with the 501, it's available to the list for $300 plus shipping.  Do some research.  You are first in line.  I can send a picture if interested but it looks just like the 3444 in the online manual.
