Are there any bad Hickok tube testers that someone advises not

Everyone's first choice to buy seems to be a Hickok.
They all can't be that good.
How about a model 534 Hickok?

thanks,

Put simply, the 534 is a good tester. Somewhat complicated due to VOM
circuitry added. If in 100% working condition and clean, worth a look.
It is the predecessor to the 539 series, more awkward to use and has
limited sockets. So make sure it serves your actual and anticipated
needs.

It is worth a premium of *perhaps* $75 over a similarly equipped
emissions-only tester, but NO MORE... given my arbitrary value-scale,
this means $100 - $125 max for a pristine version.

Are you saying the Hickok 534 would only be worth $125 in excellent
condition?

Thanks,
