Tube Tester for 2A3


I have an old Censore TC154 tube tester that will test all my tubes except the 2A3. Anyone knows what brand and model number of tube testers should I be looking at for testing the 2A3 tubes? I want the simplest one that will do the job. thanks!

I assume that since I usually buy matched tubes that they will go bad at the same time, so matching is not a big concern. But if I can get a used mutual conductance tester for $150, I will be go for it. Any suggestions will help me. thanks
I see. So I better look for either mutual conductance tester or the transcendent tube analyzer. I know Hickok and BK Precision testers are used by some, such as the 539 (?), 600, et al.

Jphii, is Transcendent Tube Analyzer the brand name?

Joe,

How did you get pictures on the text at Audiogon? I have been trying to do that but without success.

Anyway, if money is the issue, I think in the mean time I can simply ask dealers to check my tubes (I have only three pairs of 2a3).

Building a tester? Are you sure? When you find the circuit design, kindly pass it along, thanks!
