We just take all the tubes down to the electronic store and plug them into the tube tester. Whichever ones are bad we replace and that usually fixes the problem.

Quoted from DCFAN:Thank goodness for fuel injection replacing carburetors and other misc. improvements. Even cars between 10 and 15 years old today are more reliable now than 5 year old cars back then.
No doubt. At one time I was carburetor king. Meaning I rebuilt almost every carburetor ever made, sometimes two or three in a day. Even those Ford variable venturies. Learned to not even bother with Hondas as they were disposable. Now I just do smog inspections. Did have a 1979 Ferarri with four carbs on it last week and surprisingly it passed.
They actually had the tube tester for TVs at the local drug store and my dad really did fix it...
Quoted from MrBally:Heck, the corner drugstore by me had not just a tube tester, but a CoLoR Tube tester.
Quoted from DCFAN:The internet sure makes it easier to diagnose and fix things like this.
I fixed my whole house with help from the internet. Stuff I'd never done before like plumbing, new windows, stucco, tiling, entire bathrooms, etc...
I don't pay anybody to do anything I can learn to do myself.
