Tube Testing in Seattle

[Grooves]

Short of buying a tester, which seems next to impossible even to find one for sale, can anyone point me to a good source in Seattle area for having my tubes tested, matched, graded, etc.?

Have you checked with the members of the Audio Society here in Seattle? I'm sure someone has a tube tester somewhere.

No, I am not a member so I figured there was no method of contact by non members. Not that I haven't tried to get involved, (x2), but the late start times for the mtg.s on work days is tough. Some day maybe.....

Hi Grooves,

Kosmic Audio. Joe Pippen. 206.878.3833. Normandy Park, WA. Close to Seattle? Unknown.

Bought my EAT 6922 from him and he processed a warranty replacement very quickly.

Seems like a good guy. Could be worth a call.

We are visiting Peter Cheon this Thursday. I'm sure that he has a tube tester - given the number of tube amps that he's built. Peter is in Auburn.

Kosmic Audio - Joe Pittman - is 20 minutes south of Seattle. I don't know if he has a tube tester - but given the state of his garage (very full of audio stuff) I'd bet that he does.

Gary,

Thanks for correcting my spelling of Joe's last name.
