As i said before the Beltrons i own have seen more usage, which means they had better results back in the day. Remember that there are no new crt's available and we must do the best we can with what we have.

I have yet to put my money where my mouth is on this (I'm the Jack Benny of the test equipment market), but I agree best to start with the most gentle rejuve available and work your way up till you get results... I've seen the CR70 slowly and gently work miracles on tubes that did not move the needle on emissions, and I've seen and operated harsher testers that have ruined cathodes.
