  Super Sounds Perfect Prices   Item Description Up for auction is a Hickok model 752 dynamic mutual conductance vacuum tube tester. Many of you who are real tube aficionados will instantly recognize the brand-name Hickok.  The big Hickok "laboratory" models, the 752 series and the 539 series (along with the military version of same, the TV-7 model) are widely considered the most durable and accurate testers ever sold to the general public.  They were also sold to the US Government by the thousands, to be used in critical applications, such as planes, tracking equipment, etc., so you know they had to be built to work, and keep working.  There are many stories out there, some apocryphal, I'm sure, about these testers surviving floods, mud-slides, extreme rust, extreme heat, you name it, then being plugged in - - only to find out they still worked.  Oh, make no mistake, they do and did break down - - but it usually took a lot of use and/or abuse to cause that. This tester has some very nice features, including a test for (relative) remaining tube-life, the ability to test dual-triodes without changing settings, the ability to set exactly accurate plate-voltage that the tube was designed for, the ability to measure the tube's reading in micromhos, test and measures shorts and leakage in the tubes, and much more.  One thing it will not do: it will NOT cook your dinner for you (you need a significant other for that) - - well, maybe it would cook your dinner ONCE - - but then, you'd need a new tester....Seriously, though, this really is considered a professional unit. This unit was sent to the well-known Roger Kennedy of All Tube Testers dot com, who inspected, cleaned and calibrated it in May of 2014. It is in relatively decent condition cosmetically for an instrument which is more than 50 years old. We are selling this tester in good faith that it is in working condition (although it might take you a while to figure that out, if you're not familiar with this line), and because of its age, we are selling it as-is, and will not be accepting returns. It will be sent to the winner fully insured against loss or damage. Unit includes original owner's manual, a nice copy of tube types tested plus the settings, and Roger Kennedy's assessment and test values from the recent calibration done last year on it. The great thing about a Hickok tube tester is that the settings for oddball and rare tube types can always be found online by simply just doing a search. The roll chart works nice and smoothly, too.  Beautiful and gorgeous tube tester and ready to go to work for you.  Has obsolete tubes listings in one of the two included manuals and even includes tester settings for the famed Western Electric 300B! Includes calibration sheet done by Roger Kennedy as well as booklet on the tester he provided.  Also includes a copy of the actual calibration receipt.  Note: Does not include tube shown.  Tube is shown for testing purposes only.  Best of luck on being the next happy owner of this "Cadillac" of American tube-testers!!  Low auction reserve price of $700.00.  We spent over $236.00 for the calibration alone.   Shipping Costs and Restrictions Find your location below to learn how we'll ship to you.
