It was a bit of a learning curve for me, but I had never used a CRT tester before. I recall that I forgot to set cutoff before testing emissions; no harm done, but an incorrect reading of course. I don't know what Manual Restore 2 does and I wouldn't try it right now. Apparently it's only explained in the user's manual and is only to be used if rejuvenation fails, so I reckon it's pretty powerful.

Pre-1987, are you sure? Mine came with the 1989 setup book and has the number 8 socket, not to mention the discs at the base of some of the knobs, which I have since removed because they obstructed my view of the numbers. I have an earlier parts unit as well, it powers up but it seems there's no current getting to the CRT. It came with an early edition of the setup book and no roundie socket.

Every rectangular delta tube I've tested uses socket 2 and the same settings. I'm pretty sure I've memorized them correctly.
