I have always liked Hickok products, but they tend to be expensive. Although I have one here in the classifieds that nobody is hitting on. Probably because it is old enough to not be able to test more modern tubes with a compactron type pin configuration. My 6000
A Hickok will do any of them as it is newer, but not for sale unless a crazy price comes into play.

I recently found a B&K 747 in mint condition. It's my first solid state tester. So far it seems to do the job although it seems to have a million settings for each tube. Probably no more than others, just all lined up in side by side levers. Nice light weight unit and tough case more like a gun case than a piece of test equipment.
