Tube Tester Kt120


Have amplifier using lots of Kt120 on the way

Want to Test the tubes Before I fire the amp up as tubes get brittle from shipping

What is the cheapest tester for real world voltage test

Perhaps a newer tester, such as an Amplitrex would have the testing specifications for the KT120/150/170 family of tubes, but older vintage testers (Hickok, Triplett, Simpson, etc) most certainly wouldn't, since those tubes weren't introduced until the 21st century.  I think if you knew the tester specs for a KT88, one could likely infer the testing values for the KT120 based upon its essential characteristics, since the pinout is identical.
