[NJARC] Testing tubes?

[Scott Roberts]

Steve- You can use an emissions style tester- you set
it up, plug in the tube, and it runs power through the
it, as if in operation. There's a couple different
types, but I'm not sure what the difference really is
in them. I have one on e-bay at the moment, but it
needs meter repair... But I'd be glad to bring my good
one along to next month's meeting, if you bring along
your tubes.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings that thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill, 'The Contest in America', Feb. 1862
