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.

Sir, I would like to know why it is that if you are working on a vintage TV from about the same time period as mine, why you had to go into my thread and just randomly give me a whole "enviromental" shpeel about why its bad to use dim bulb testers and that I need to "keep up with the times"?
It seems to me you're working on your TV the same way I am.
Which by the way I was only using the advice given to be by others on here so don't go shooting the messenger.
So I would like to know why it is you're trying to cause trouble on here when no one was trying to cause trouble with you?
