I'm selling this very nice higher-end model because I've acquired an even
higher-end KS-15784 L2 Cardmatic.
Condition is a very conservative Good or better. The case has the usual
marks and dings. The panel has shiny wear marks around a few of the dials
but is otherwise extremely clean, works very well and has been my preferred
tester for thorough checks. (I've been using less sophisticated testers to
do Go/No Go screening of batches of used tubes.)
A convenient feature of the 752A is that it can check the second section of
a tubes with two identical sections, like a 12AX7, just by pushing a
button--no change of settings is needed. The roll chart works fine. There
is a mild "tick" at a certain point in the rotation of the Bias control, as
if a turn of the resistance element (it's a wirewound control) is sticking
up just a bit. It's never been a problem, but I have a spare pot I will
include. It's very hard to find because it is unique to Hickok. A pin on
one of the miniature tube sockets could use tightening, but again it's
never been a problem. I have full documentation, with settings for obsolete
tubes.
$400 plus shipping.
