Every year, about 3 weeks before Christmas, I offer a number of very unique items for that “Hard to buy for Antique Electronics Collector”- in every price range. If payment is made at the end of auction, these items will easily be anywhere in the USA, and many places around the World before Christmas. Please take a moment to REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THIS SEASON. Best Wishes, Radioorphanage Here for your consideration is a nice Hickok Model 539C True Mutual Conductance Tube Tester. This is one of the best Tube Testers ever made, and the C being the last of the 539 series, it is the Best of the Best. Hickok officially sold the 539C from 1962 to 1968 for $545. This was one of the last Tube Testers Hickok sold, and unofficially it was sold into the 1970s. This one is in nice used condition with a few scrapes and nicks on the outside of the cabinet. You can make it look new if you want to buff it up with black shoe polish, but I’ll leave that up to you. The interior panel is excellent, showing very little sign of use. This large 19” x 17” x 8” tester has 14 sockets and covers 4 pin, 5 pin, 6 pin, 7 pin, octal, loctal, 7 pin miniature, 9 pin miniature, 10 pin, 12 pin, and 4 smaller sockets for nuvistors and subminiature tubes. It has tube socket savers in the octal, and 7 pin miniature sockets. This is serial# 323 00355, and has a ITT Telecommunications tag with 73 17 01 stamped on it. I took this to my Tech friend Tom, and he replaced the 3 electrolytic capacitors, and tested it out. This should be ready for years of use. On the internal roll chart I see hundreds of tubes like 0A4,1L4, 1L6, 1LA6, 1R5, 1S5, 2A3, 5U4, 5Y3, 6A3, 6A7, 6AC7, 6AQ5, 6AU6, 6B4, 6BQ5, 6C6, 6CA7, 6CL6, 6CM6, 6CZ5, 6E5, 6F6, 6H5, 6J6, 6L6, 6M3, 6SL7, 6SN7, 6U5, 6V6, 7A7, 12AU7, 12AX7, 12BH7, 12SN7, 12V6, 25L6, 35B5, 35Z5, 45, 50C5, KT66, 75, 80, 83, 84, KT88, 807, 812, 866, 1612, 1614, 1619, 5881, 5963, 6146, 6814, 7025, 7189, 7199, 7868, plus thousands of others. Also included is a Model 539B Tube Tester Data sheet, and the original Hickok Guarantee Certificate. Good Luck, Radioorphanage   ELECTRONIC ICONS of the 20th CENTURY from RADIOORPHANAGE!!
