Good morning everyone.  Just got back from the MARC vintage electronics expo.  I could have dropped a paycheck on some of the "eye candy" there today.  I picked up some globe tube replacements for the ST tubes in my radio, and then it called out to me.  I've been looking for a reasonably priced tube tester, and stumbled upon a Triplett model 2413 complete with all the instructions and tube charts.  I know it's only an emissions tester, but I'm not hooked on this hobby deep enough to justify the price of a mutual conductance tester (just yet, anyway!). For now, good/bad/questionable for my tubes is better than nothing at all.  The unit works, but I still want to go through it and change the line cord and check internal components.  After a little negotiating, I walk out with the unit for $50.00. OK, committed and commitable phorum gurus, did  I do good, or is the vendor laughing all the way to his wallet??  Take care, Gary.
