NRI Triplett tube tester

[Tubejunke]

I think that you did great given the condition, all the documentation that I see, and the probable rarity. As far as $80 goes, I was just reading somewhere else how tube testers are increasing in value while other older test equipment remains pretty cheap like VTVMs. I made the mistake of paying about that for an old Heathkit C3 capacitor tester that "worked." Turns out all of the bridge is off, so I can't get a value, then I find out that my DC voltages are all very low, so it's probably a rebuild on something that I wanted to help me in troubleshooting.

I got hasty in my buying, so its my fault I guess. I thought that getting it through this site would give me a better shot at something actually known to be working by someone who knows what to look for as opposed to some ebay flip.

Oh, it's also great if all you have to deal with in capacitors is a .1mfd! I seem to keep bunches of those. I want also to say that I believe this unit to be a simple emissions tester with no bells and whistles like mutual conductance and such. Still in all, it will serve you fine with radio applications and some others.
