LONGHIN - Great Tube Testers from Italy
German Vintage Loudspeakers.com has come across some remarkable contemporary production tube testers from the city of Cesano Maderno. Located some 20 km away from the centre of Milano, it is close to the industrial heart of Italy. The manufacturer of the tube testing devices is Signore Paolo Longhin. This is his website:

There are several reasons why we like these testers:

1. They are precise
2. They are easy to work with
3. The price is quite unbeatable compared to other contemporary tube tester
4. With around 7 kilos they are light weight
5. This is important: Why buy ancient tube testers which are most probably in need of complete overhaul, exchange of parts or even a complete (and expensive) restoration?

This adress brings you to his tube tester:

There is also a 3:06 video on this page which demonstrates how the tube tester works. Although the guy speaks Italian you will understand what he is talking about just by watching. Anyway it is always nice to listen to the beautiful Italian language.

Take a look at the pictures below.

More about his devices soon on GVL.
