[R-390] And the tube tester thread goes on....

[flood at Krohne.com]

My TV-7U/D came to me as NOS.  It was saved from the junk pile never 
having been used in an old CD bunker.  My friend, the rescue man, went so 
far as to purchase a set of adaptors for Compactrons and Nuvistors and 
also some test sockets with nice terminals to easily make voltage 
measurements without accidentally picking up B+ on your fingers in a rats 
nest under the chassis.  He tested "One" tube and there it sat on his 
shelf.  I traded him a very sick National NC-500 for it and we were both 
happy!  I use it as follows.  I test a few tubes at lunch once in a while, 
and sometimes after the kids go to bed.  After keeping some for my BA's, 
the audio boys get to fight over the bulk of those they find desirable. 

PS.....  I miss the ballast tube thread........  ducking and running......
