Many decades ago I saw a picture in a magazine of what to my juvenile
eyes looked like what must be the ultimate tube tester of all time,
and while I do not remember the model or make I do clearly remember
row after row of gleaming colored knobs and jacks. Does this
description ring a bell with anyone?

Not really (the one at the local Radio Shack (way in the back in
1970-something when I was getting an old Hallicrafters up and running)
was more boring - blue and white with brown sockets and black knobs, as
I recall), but I suspect that certain auction sites probably have
exactly the thing you were looking at available from time to time. All
the other old junque shows up there.

Not to deny you the joy of building, or anything like that - but if it
was made, there are probably examples out ion the wild to buy, if you
look for them.
