Here is a nicely restored Heathkit TC-3 tube tester. The TC-3 is the 3rd in the Heathkit early line of tube testers. It follows the TC-1 & TC-2, and adds a means of testing in-line pencil tubes, a much improved roll chart mechanism, and low-/high-sensitivity leakage tests. This unit can test the following tube bases: 4-pin antique large base 5-pin antique large base 6-pin antique large base 7-pin antique large base 8-pin Octal 8-pin Loctal 7-pin miniature 9-pin miniature Pencil tubes (7-pin in-line subminiature) This covers many tubes from antique radio and early audio, through Rock 'n Roll, Amateur Radio, TV, Audio and Automotive. This tester was repaired, cleaned, calibrated and fully tested. Every socket was tested with an actual vacuum tube. Everything works. The meter is in good condition, the sockets are good, the handle and cabinet are solid and all the switches and controls work fine. The tube chart roll is nice and works well. The pictures show tests of several different tubes. Good, weak, and leaky tubes were tested. The tester correctly shows expected test results. Included with the tester is as complete a manual as you'll find. It includes copies of the construction manual, roll chart and tube chart updates that will let you test modern Octal and miniature consumer tubes in addition to the antique tube types. The item might be shipped by FedEx Home/Ground or Priority Mail depending on your location. The quoted shipping cost won't be exceeded. NOTE: Tubes shown under test are for demo only and not included in this sale. Returns accepted, buyer pays return shipping. Item must be returned in same condition with all accessories and manuals. Please let me know if you have any questions.

“Vintage item in good condition overall but because of age and use, it has marks and wear. This TC-3 was repaired, calibrated and tested. The pictures accurately show the condition of the unit and are an important part of this listing. As with all testers I rebuild, missing and broken parts are replaced with non-original functional equivalents.”
