Anyone with a Valve Tester near to Maidstone Kent?
 
Hi, looking for anyone near to me who has a Valve Tester I could possible use. I'm happy to pay for the time and usage.

Also if anyone near to me selling a Valve Tester I would be very interested.

Thanks in advance

I'm a fairly long drive from Maidstone (I'm in South Oxfordshire) but you'd be welcome to test whatever you need on one of mine (AVO III and CT160).

I might possibly be persuaded to sell my Taylor 45C though.

Thanks Craig for the kind offer, I wish we just lived a bit closer to each other. If you do want to sell your valve tester I'd probably be interested. I only have a budget of £200 - £300 which may not be enough looking at current prices on the Internet.

Seems that valve testers in the USA are much cheaper and more commonly available. But likely would need a step down transformer and a chart to convert our valve numbers to their equivalents.

Hi William
I have a Taylor 45a valve tester I can sell it's in immaculate condition fully working and it has all the original adapters including some additional ones one of which is for 9 pin valves. It comes in a wooden case plus a good copy of the how to use manual plus schematics and I also have an original taylor 45c booklet which can be used for the 45a but quite rare to find.
Anyhow I live in Birchington Kent if your interested I'll post some pics of unit.

Cheers Chris
