I wonder if you can buy a new tube tester. I would say yes since so much audio equipment is still made. If they make the equipment then certainly they must make the test equipment. I just be it wont be a Hickok (my personal favorite)or something along those lines. Even if it is some Russian or Chinese job, it might be good if it were to cover all tubes from the old big pins through the compactron styles of the 60-70s. I always have to maintain two units to cover the bases.
As far as I know, the modern stuff is octal or miniature and that's it, but I may be wrong. As far as this thread, I suppose you can find deficiencies in anything, but by and large I say that a good tube tester is essential to anyone doing tech work on this kind of equipment.
