BK CRT Tester 470

[tvcollector]

It actually has the manual and alot of other paper work.. If I do get it, I'll need sockets.. The hinges on that are fine.. But my 467 model with the three meters, the top cover did break off.. will the hinges work for my 467 model?

The hinge on the 467s and 470s is plastic, part of the case. When they break, we used stainless steel piano hinge material for repair (I got about 20 feet of the stuff from some old ATE cabinets the Navy was junking) - the shiny brass stuff they sell at HD, Lowes, Ace, or Menards will work just as well. Keep the sheet metal screws shortish - I seem to recall I used 3/8" #6 screws.

My 467 has a good hinge, but I rarely even open it up. I got it back in 2008 or 2009 with a lot of other test equipment from a Public Surplus auction.
