Very strange question....

Anyone who builds/repairs guitar amps should know the answer.

Nothing strange about it! I am a rookie and am studying about guitar
amps and trying to build a work bench one tool at a time. I have a
Fluke meter and think my next tool should be a tube tester. I have no
clue as to how to use it nor do I have a big wad to buy one with so I
am looking for information instead of just buying something off of
Ebay with no idea of what I am getting. I would appreciate any
information I can get. Thank you...J.P.


But this newsgroup isn't about the repair of guitar amplifiers.
So indeed asking where the discussion is about repairing guitar
amplifiers would seem to be a far more appropriate place.

Now, had your question been whether the unit is good for testing
tubes, that might give a different response.
