Stupid law? I don’t think so. Why would you continue to manufacture products that consume 10 times the power, last a fraction of the time and cost less? To provide the population with dim bulb testers? But why stop there... let start hunting whales again for fuel oil. I think this thread should be devoid of political comments but don’t be surprised if you get a contrary comment.
We all love these old machines but we live in a world that has advanced far beyond tube technology. Don’t condemn advancement, learn and find other ways to measure and test these old beauties. Buy or build a current limited power supply. Pick up some high wattage resistors of simply serial/parallel with what you CAN find. Read a book on troubleshooting and I’ll bet you’ll have not only a better understanding of these systems but you’ll enjoy it more.
