Description

Hickok 6000 Vacuum Tube Tester in Very Good Condition, Needs Work.

 This Hickok 6000 tube tester is considered one of the best out there, and is in pretty nice shape. It powers up okay and lights the filaments of the tubes inserted to test, however there is no meter indication when the test button is pressed.

This is a common issue in these 60+ year-old testers and often points to repairable problems rather than a total failure 
 
The Gas indicators do light up.
 
 Some Fabric on the bottom has come off but the rest of the case looks pretty nice. 

 This unit is well worth putting some work into.

 I am selling it as is, as described for parts or repair.

The Hickok 6000 is a vintage mutual conductance (Gm) vacuum tube tester introduced around 1957-1958 by the Hickok Electrical Instrument Company.
 
It was designed as a compact, consumer-grade tool for testing tubes used in radios, televisions, amplifiers, and other electronics of the era.
 
he unit measures a tube's transconductance to determine its quality, providing a "Good-Bad" scale or direct micromhos (µmhos) readings.
 
It features multiple tube sockets (including octal, loctal, 7-pin, and 9-pin miniature), a roll chart for setup data, controls for bias, shunt, filament voltage, and function selection, and neon lamps for automatic shorts detection.
