Does anyone remember a cartoon (possibly from Radio-Electronics) of a guy who
had plugged several tubes (including a CRT) into the tester, and who was being told
by the store clerk: 'Just one at a time, sir!'?

Great restoration, sure brings memories. We had one at a drugstore within a
3-minute walk when I was a kid. I went there with my father carrying the 5
tubes from our AA5 radio, and he was led to buy 4 new tubes. I remember
him throwing the 4 duds at the base of a tree (though usually my father
behaved in a more civic way) on the way back home. And the radio did get
back to work!
