Amplitrex AT1000 Tube Tester - Recent Cleaning, Upgrade and Calibration From Amplitrex  - Like New Factory Condition
I paid over $3000.  These are hard to get. It is the simplest to utilize yet most capable tester on the market.

 The Amplitrex AT-1000 is the state of the art computerized tube tester and one of the only tube testers ever produced that is able to work independently and has custom interfaced software for PC operation. 

 The Amplitrex AT-1000 is a current production tube tester and unlike tube testers built 35 to 55 years ago, the Amplitrex offers laboratory grade testing under microprocessor control and makes it possible to check a tube according to the original manufacturers design specifications.   

Even more valuable is the ability to duplicate real world amplifier parameters. With the Amplitrex AT-1000, you will be able to test tubes under the same conditions they are subject to within any amplifier.

BENEFITS OF TESTING TUBES ON THE AMPLITREX AT-1000

•          Your tubes are sure to be dependable
•          Audio tubes are certain to sound good
•          Tubes graded on the Amplitrex are known good and are going to last longer
•          O.S Pre amp and Power tubes are worth what you paid for them
•          An audio noise test is performed and only low noise tubes are passed
•          The Amplitrex assures your tubes are not contaminated internally
•          Peace of mind that your tubes are certain to work without question
•          You can get your tubes exactly matched so you can keep spares that do not need to be re biased by a technician
•          Your tubes are going to make plenty of clean power
•          Your tubes will not make extraneous sound

The AT-1000 is a computer operated, self contained tube tester. The tester is fully solid state and has laboratory measurement accuracy of 1.5% on mutual conductance (Gm) tests.

The tester will operate in the stand alone mode or when connected to a micro computer. When operated by an external computer it provides a greater level of testing with operator control over many different tests. This tester was designed primarily for the audio industry.
