Truthfully that cage is there to keep out a bandit clan of squirrel gang sporting gang colors. Haven`t figured out the cage is easily removed with an IQ above 20.I thought the cage was there to keep the likes of @TK16 from pilfering while visiting. So it's not just a security measure then?
Sure? You can round up to 20 if its 16 or higher?Crap. Back to pilfering Plan B for me then.
No idea, but what concerns me more is who the heck made those tiny bandanas for the squirrels?How about if they keep asking you when you're going to start on the test after you've already finished? Maybe there's not a number for that.
I can make more selling off the reusable parts than I paid for it if it comes to that, but would prefer to have a nice, fully functional tester. 
Just a note of caution if you're ever considering buying a tube tester on Ebay. If the seller doesn't include pictures of the case, it's not likely because they just "forgot."
This is a Hickok 800A with the guts on my workdesk. On the bright side:
1) I got this for cheap.
2) The faceplate is dirty but otherwise in excellent shape with no scratches, wear marks, etc.
3) Waiting on delivery of a few parts from Mouser. If this operates and calibrates well once they're installed, then it's worth putting some effort into the case. If not, there will be a lot of Hickok 800A parts appearing on Ebay shortly.
4) I like challenges. Well, to an extent. Not sure of the exact point that a challenge becomes a PITA. This may define that point. LOL!
I'll post 'after' picks when I get done with it. Hopefully within the life span of most of us here.
What code dates are those 5 single RCA 5963 tubes you have linked? Are you bidding/offering up on these bro?
5 single RCA 5963? No. Don`t know what your talking about bro.
Heard a couple people mention these tubes, @bcowen and somebody else. No experience with these.
