Anko Model 360

[ibis12]

Greetings,

I am just getting into tube testing and tube amplifiers. I bought an Anko Model 360 tube tester on Ebay, and it appears to be broken. When you set the A,B,and C switches and insert a tube (or don't insert a tube) the unit shows 80 on Gas - 80 on Shorts - and pegs below zero on Test. Do I have a filament tester here, or a real tube tester? Not sure where to start on the repair. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

if there are some operating instructions inside the lid, perhaps you can post a good picture of it? Looks like a nice tester to me, because there are a lot of components inside, and optical condition is very nice. On Ebay tester are normally broken, it's kind of normal there. Or, you are just operating it wrong.

No real instructions inside the lid. just settings for the various tubes. It looks like a power supply and switches. Could it be the capacitor? Thanks
