[R-390] Tube testers

[Rick Brashear]

I think most of us use tube testers from time to time, I do, and they are a
good way to get a feel for what's going on in a dead or poorly operating
circuit.  However, if you have a "known good" tube you can substitute it is
the sure fire way to know if the tube is the culprit.  I have several "known
good" tubes I use for that purpose only.  When I was in the TV repair
business many years ago that was standard practice.  I don't think one
should ever put all of his marbles in one sack.  By being versatile we can
be much more successful.
