MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube?

is there a wary to test a tube? Should i just buy a really cheap tube to see if it works first?

Sounds like fun. Good to see you guys all on here after so long of an absence. I remember you guys when I was into this in the early 2000s .i've got little kids now so there's always a possibility to that they spilled something into it that's why I'm a little nervous. Maybe if you guys have a tester I can mail this one to you and just tell me if it's good or bad before I buy a $75 tube!

Ok, called Andy at tube services. He said if the tube is fully lighting up it's not the tube. So, i took it up and sure enough the tube is lighting up. Looks like it is something else. Will look into either repairing it or replacing. Thanks for the info guys!

Update.. So i trucked it back to the system and fired it up... Tube lit up fine... Then i saw little light emissions over by the on/off switch....so... I have an email into us distributor for repair/trade in... Might not be worth repairing it.. Will see how much it costs.

Mechans,

Great find! For under $8 shipped i will be able to see if it's a tube issue. Will post back when i get it.

Thanks for the offer. I already ordered a tube from tube depot. You guys are so kind.
