Great news.  If you live on the east end of town, I have 2 tube testers that have been tested against each other.  They respond enough alike that I trust they are working correctly.  Contact via PM to arrange a time, if you would like to use them.

Also, if I get a chance, I would like to test 1 against yours for a final check.

I remember when you had tubes - period !

There were tube checkers at every gas station, drug store and supermarket.
