About to snag a Precision Tube Master Series 10 tube tester

[DonMoose]

About to pull the trigger on this here Tube Tester on the local CL:
https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/msg/4178828007.html

Anybody got any experience with this brand/model? Probably gonna go for it regardless, but it would be nice to know what I'm getting into.

Thanks!

Very pretty!

I bought something similar, and now understand that this box is just good for very basic testing. Will find out shorts and totally non-op tubes, but won't help you match power tubes, e.g.

Still, a valuable tool to have when you encounter a box full of tubes at a garage sale.

Looks like a nice unit, but it will no doubt need restoration and calibration.

Hi,
looks a nice Tube tester. But realize that the basic tube testers mostly give you only information about a rectifiertest, filement, shorts, etc.
For real testing I think it is important you can messure the Mutual Conductance of a tube.
Filement etc you can test with a multimeter.
So before you buy one, be sure it has that facility.
I prefer the old Taylor/ Windsor testers.
