Yes, but the problem is is that I don't have $200-$300 to sink into a tube tester, I have Autism and other disabilities, so I get disabilites checks every month, which mostly go towards rent and groceries and what not, and I work a part time job 2 days a week and that money goes towards my car payment, and gas for my car and other things, so at the end of the day I don't have $300 to be spending on a tube tester.

What little money I can spend on buying and fixing up these old radios has to be spend wisely, because I only have between 120 and 160 dollars for mad money, and that has to last me 2 weeks and for other things besides my radios.

So unfortunately all I can afford is a $20-$50 tube tester at the moment.
