Also it seems my shadow meter doesn't work, as the vane inside the shadow meter wasn't responding to the stations that were coming in on the radio.
I did put a Bid in on ebay for a EMC 203 Tube tester that does test the older style tubes but not sure if I will win it or not.
Why on earth are those older tube testers that test the older style 4, 5, 6 and 7 pin tubes so blame expensive?
The ones that don't test those style tubes and that just test the newer octal, Loctal and Noval (mini 7 and 9 pin tubes and compactrons) can usually be had for $20 or less but the ones that test the newer style tube and the older style tubes are usually $50-$300 or more, which seems rediculuous to me and doesn't make any sense to me.
