I have a '70s jukebox that, while working well mechanically, is starting to act up sound-wise. I've replaced the needle with little improvement. So now I'm looking at the amplifier. My first though is to determine if it has any weak tubes. Does anyone know of an outfit in the GTA-Barrie area that still tests audio tubes? Missing those tube-testers that were a part of every drug store way back when.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
I don't know if the speaker shop does or not, but I bet at least that he does know someone who does.
 
I believe A-1 electronics in Etobicoke has a tube tester. Give them a call.
 
I've used National Sound (Queensway & Islington) to repair one of my tube amps in the past. The repair guy (who I think is also the owner) is an audio repair wiz and has a lot of spare tubes, so i assume he also has a tube tester. Good guy, reasonable prices.
