[NJARC] Suggestions for Tube Testers

[Joe Giliberti]

My Gmail app screwed up and sent this message before I was done. To continue

The tube tester I have right now is a fairly good one that I got from Steve
Goulart. It is a Sencore Mighty Might VII. Is a great machine and it seems
very accurate but it does not test all the tubes I need to, namely big pin
tubes. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a machine that is of decent
quality but is also something I could afford, preferably under $150. I'm
not uncomfortable with making repairs to one that has problems. I can hang
on to the one I have for when I need to test compactrons and nuvistors.

As far as other equipment goes, I recently picked up a  very nice variable
power supply  at a garage sale for $10 .  It does  up to 36 volts  at up to
20 amps . I'd also be interested interested in a decent signal generator, a
CRT tester and something I can use as a B+ power supply. If anyone has any
suggestions of equipment that would be of good quality but not too
expensive I'd appreciate it.. Anything else I need outside of those parts?

Thank for you help and advice as always
