Thanks for the vote of confidence, but, I think i have more than enough projects to keep myself busy for quite some time... and that doesn't even include the others that will make their way to my door later on!
The tester you see is a B&K 470 CRT tester. My tube tester... which is pretty old... is a National Radio Institute Model 69. It works fine, but, has no listings for any of the newer tubes like you'd find in 60's color sets. Not sure when this thing was made, but, I'm guessing early 50's.
Update: I just noticed that someone over on the AntiqueRadio forums says that my NRI 69 was made by Triplett... around 1947-48. hmmm... no wonder I can't check any of the more modern tubes!
