[Test-Equipment] Emiossion Tube Testers

[Dennis L. Wade]

Gentlemen,

	I have a small dilemma that I'd like your opinions on.  

	I've used a Simpson model 305 tube tester for a number of years now 
and it seems to work as well as an emission tester should.  It is in 
good shape and I have a copy of the roll chart.

	Recently a Knight Kit KG-600B emission tube tester followed me home 
from an estate sale.  What caught my eye (besides the price) was that 
it is in nearly pristine condition looking as though it was just 
assembled yesterday. (The owners notes indicate it was completed in 
May of 1964).  Very clean, good construction practice inside.  Seems 
to work just fine.

	Which should I keep?  I don't really need two.  Are all emission 
testers basically created equal?  My emotional choice would be to 
keep the Simpson (goes well with my 268 VOM)..but..what do you think?

		Thanks!
