Anyone in Vancouver with a tube tester?

I inherited a bunch of old tubes recently, and I'd like to find out what condition they're in, without having to ship them somewhere and back.

I think Inovative Audio in Surrey has one. Google them as they have a web site. They are a used dealer and I have bought and sold some stuff from them. Really nice people and always take the time for you.

Hey thanks Karolnap. I cannot imagine how much they would charge me to test 50 tubes. I'll call them and ask though. You never know.

I might be better off buying a tube tester. I saw a good deal for a local one on Craigslist recently, but the timing is bad for cash, so I let it slip away. No rush.

Doesn't Main Electronics still have one tucked somewhere?

Last time I was in it was there, been a couple of years though. Big old stand up one right in the front of the store.
