At Home Tube Tester: What Would You Pay For One?

Closer look. Hard to believe this is 50 years old.

They can tell you if a tube is good... but so will the Orange amps tester too. Which is newer and more reliable.

If you have a large collection of tube amps (which some of us do ) and time is money to you... it’s an easier decision. Wait til you have to repair one of those Hickok or similar testers. The repair bill will make you think twice. And very few people will even work on them anymore to begin with. YMMV.

Agreed; if it goes on the fritz out it goes. It was cheap enough and I've had it for 7 years..pretty sure this would have been a tool in a TV repairman's van. Lol
But I use it very little since I've gone through my entire tube stash with it.

If anyone wants an Orange VT1000, I have one that I would sell for a very fair price. I don’t have a use for it any longer. It is less than a year old.

What are you asking for it ???
