Hello all,
I have been collecting a variety of HP Vintage Test equipment pieces over the past years with the intention of restoring them, some of the pieces I picked up have tubes inside. I have a good selection of test equipment, but a Tube Tester is not among them. I have been looking on the usual channels (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, E.TC) for a tube testers but all are pricy and most likely will have to be restored themselves.
I also found the RoeTest professional tube testing system, a Modern Tube Tester designed by Helmut Weigl from Germany. With about (4) Vintage Pieces of Test Equipment to restore and a desire to maybe build some Tube Amplifiers in the near future, I decided to take on Building the Roetest V11.
I do component level electronics purely as a hobby in my free time, I repair equipment for friends and family, and I build some amplifiers and equipment kits. That said, this is the biggest electronics project I have taken on. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience building the RoeTest on this forum for anybody that might be interested.
I will be posting my progress as I go.

Hi, did you ever get started on this? I was thinking about building one as well. I have a TV-7D/U and a Tektronix 570 now, but it would be nice to go digital and sell those.
