I would LOVE to have some modern test equipment! My funds are ULTRA limited right now. That is why I haven't started replacing caps in the Zenith 5111! I just brought in a Hickok Model 532 tube tester (no CRT) with three sets of scrolls. The oldest is dated 1950 and the most updated one which is in it is dated 1961! It, like all of the other Hickok equipment that I have has a multitude of settings and a ton of switches etc. It looks like something off of an old SCI-FI movie, but I am not trying to start a Hickok collection (which I seem to have). If anybody can direct me to somebody into vintage test equipment, perhaps I could come out on top for once and land a modern B+K or Sencore tester AND a decent oscilloscope. I know that the Hickok stuff is very desirable. If nothing else I could sell and just buy what I need.
