I had a competitor who used to swing by my shop to get me to rejuvenate CRT's for him that his Sencore machine wouldn't do.

+1 - we had a 467, and two 470s. I've got seven 470s now - all have bad hinges, but they will all test a tube, 'cept one with a molex connector issue. I gotta go through them one day and see how many adapters I have - many are homemade by my late father.

I had a home-brew adapter, but I can't remember exactly what it was for. B&K also made a "universal adapter" that had alligator clips on it, labeled so you could use a basing diagram and test anything.

I always liked the fact the 467 had three separate meters. It was nice to be able to see all three guns simultaneously.
