I want the user to be able to select the tables to be read from a geodatabase. I added the reader using the single merged feature type. This gives me a list of tables for them to choose from. What I want to happen is depending on which tables are selected, it will output to a schema mapper which reads the tables and writes to a geodatabase. So, I was thinking I would want a tester but the tester doesn't have the ability to show the tables. Anyone have any idea of how this can be done?

After reading in all the feature types (ideally using a Feature Reader transformer), you could potentially use a FeatureTypeFilter or you may want to read up about dynamic workspaces
As above, if you use a FeatureReader you can use the selected feature types as features to read. If you read the schemas as well you can then write to a gdb dynamically by sending the schema and the features to the writer
@chris28 If you include the source table name in the SchemaMapper, you can use this as a SchemaMapper filter. You should then be able to use a single schema mapping table. In this case, you won't need to filter in the workspace. You could combine this with a dynamic writer which should really simplify your workspace.
Thanks for all the ideas. I ended up using the FeatureReader and then the SchemaMapper which then wrote out to the geodatabase and it worked perfectly!
