Still need these tubes for my drug store tube tester

Way to go!!! Brings back lots of memories from my early years... I stood in front of those testers many tiimes, running through the charts and twisting the knobs. Bought lots of tubes out of them too. Mostly for friends' TVs, but also quite a few hi-fi and radio sets.

BTW, help me remember; were the tube prices stamped on the boxes or were they on a price list accompanying the tester?

I've got a few price list pamphlets, the ones I have were for dealer use. I've never seen prices stamped on tube boxes so I imagine the retail price lists were available at the testers.

Here's a link to my Flickr site with some additional pictures of the tester.

Well done sir. Glad I was able to help a little bit.

Congratulations! Couldn't help, but I admire them what did!

Absolutely great job!!! It looks brand new! A museum piece, for sure!

Impressive! If they ever make another 'back to the future' movie maybe you can get this into a scene.

Here is the original rec.antiques.radio+phono thread documenting the restoration:

Reading that should help explain some of the extra photos in the Flickr album.
