WANTED:

  • Tube Tester & Tubes.
    • I am a rookie tube guy (in Victoria) looking to get some stuff to start learning. Having started reading about tubes in old audio equipment on the internet & audio forums, I became a little overwhelmed & started looking for ways to learn. A tube tester & some tubes seemed a logical place to start. Someone suggested reaching out to a local radio association might be a good place to look.
