[QUOTE="suphuckers, post: 146284, member: 3474"] A Hickok 600a is a decent tester (I have one of those too, and you could maybe get one for $300+), and a 752 can do both sides of the 12AX7 at the same time (Which is useful) and of course then there's the 539a/b/c which are out of this world expensive. Then you're getting into the Orange and Maxi tester price range anyways. I mean if I was going to buy a 539C I'd probably just buy a Maxi Matcher instead. Stay away from the Cardmatic testers (just my opinion) and stay away from Simpson. There are a few Canadian Testers that are actually Hickok testers in disguise. ..but again you're getting into a lot of money and or hard to find... and that always brings me back to the EICO ;) Aight, I think I made that point. heh Edit: ...and personally I like my EICO better then a Hickok. People are all hung up on that stupid gm number. I mean sure I guess it's important, but I want to know a lot more about a tube than just that number. [/QUOTE]
