I picked up a Behringer CT100 Cable Tester today.

None of us should be without one of these little gadgets:

And it was not very expensive.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

cool tool

i check cables the old fashion way. i pull out my 40 year old radio shack multitester.

put the selector to ohm setting. touch one probe to 1 tip of the cable plug, and the other probe to the tip of the other plug. if the needle moves, you have continuity. do the same with the sleeve, and you will know if the cable is good or not.

anybody else do the same?

Sweet tool for your tech box.
----Danny,

I have one and I love it

I use my Dad's old Simpson 260 in the shop.

I keep an "el cheepo" DVM in my gig bag for field-expedient diagnosis and repair.

I go way old school, If I plug it in and it works, it's good if not, I fix it.

Life...... It's sexually transmitted and always fatal

last year at an auction, i bought a bin full of cables for 20 bucks- including a few monster

pulled out the multitester, and wound up with about 20 good cables. the rest are sitting around for parts.

i'm set for a while

I have a bag of goodies that I never go to a gig without and a cable tester is in it. Invaluable tool.
