Hi all,

I?m about to embark on my first restoration of a piece of tube based test gear. It?s an old Heathkit Oscilloscope from the early 70s. I am looking for recommendations for approaches to tube testing. Do I seek out or build a tube tester or just test in circuit. Anything else that I should look out for, besides the usual concerns about high voltages on the chassis, and old degraded components.

Regards, Mike Willegal

There is a Facebook group called Vintage Electronic Test Equipment and a lot of the guys there post stuff about tube testers. Might be a good resource for information
