Hickok model 752 - The Cadillac of the classic tube testers, built in 1963. bought it on ebay, repaired and calibrated it, and this was my "go to" tester for 15 years, never failed me once. still use it regularly when i need to double check a result from the utracer digital testeR

Hickok model 539C - recently acquired. if the 752 on the left is the cadillac of testers, this laboratory grade tester is certainly the rolls royce. this tester can test virtually any tube, and has every function imaginable. I don't use this tester often but it comes in handy for oddball tubes
