I have a Hickok 600A tester which works well for me. If you got one that needed work, this one is not too bad to work on.

I got a calibration procedure online for this also and you can get
calibration tubes also.

Prices I've seen lately on eBay can be $500 for one in good condition.

If you get a junker, the items that I've heard are costly are the meter and of course the multi-tap transformer. Other than that one should be able to rebuild one of these fairly easily if need be.
