tube tester, CRT tester, VTVM,scope,cap tester it goes on and on and on....

I like my 1076 analyst, very handy for trouble shooting, and generally just a cool piece of test equipment.

If you buy a tube tester, buy one that lets you test all the tubes you are likely to see and buy a good one, for tv work I think a good shorts and grid emission is vital. If you are not careful you will end up with several tube testers.

The one I use the most is my mercury 1000. A good CRT tester like a CR-70 is nice too.

an Eye tube cap tester is handy, some say not needed just replace all old caps, but I use it to verify the values of caps going in and to make sure the new ones are not leaky (some have been, BRAND NEW made in china junk).
