Need advice picking a tube tester

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Greetings- I already own and use a Hickock 533A and a Hickock 800A, so I don't really "need" another tube tester. However, a friend of mine is downsizing and has a Triplett 3423 tester and a TV-7U (not a, b, c, or d)tester for sale that I could obtain somewhat inexpensively ( <$200.00. Both testers are in great cosmetic condition and my friend states that they both work well also. I remember reading that Hickock only manufactured the "B" model of the TV 7U, but I can't remember the difference between the TV7 U model and the TV 7 DU model. Ferrite beads seem to come to mind. In any case, I'm leaning towards the Triplett, but should I just hold out for a 3444? Thank you, Paul
