I have a 467 CRT tester and it works very well.

Hi Bill:

On your 467, I just purchased a unit that has been idle for a long time. It is in supurb cosmetic shape. Looks almost factory new. It even has the little guarantee cards that TV techs were supposed to fill out for customers "guaranteeing" their CRT's for 5 years after rejuvination.

Is there anything I need to know before I attempt first use, like capacitors that need changing, etc.?

I have not taken it apart to look it over. the only thing I noticed is that the foam holding the CRT sockets in the lid is all deteriorated. The sockets themselves are fine.

I only have one CRT in the house at the moment, in a Symphonic TV/VCR. It is perfectly fine CRT, but I don't want the tester to wreck it. It is our treadmill TV.
