visited my folks for a week and a half and always come back with some great finds like this guy eico 666 \m/ tube tester. I've replaced the two electro caps and selenium rectifiers as a matter of course and I'll also swap out the ancient 2 prong cord with a 3 prong properly grounded to the chassis (we like safety here, folks), and then I'll calibrate it but I've already confirmed it works (using settings from internet users as the settings from the roll charts on these are famous for having errors at best and absolutely destroying tubes at worst). i have boxes of organ pull tubes to test

I like that whoever did their marketing thought that calling it a "Model 666" was a good idea. Seems that might have put some buyers off . . .

Put me in mind of the album "666" by Aphrodite's Child (which was composer Vangelis' band). Any prog rock collection without that album is woefully incomplete . . .
