These have a more advanced rejuvenate function and will come closer to giving you some more life out of that tube, instead of blowing it up. On the B&K models, you'll need adapter #CR23 to test that tube.

Thanks for the heads up on that tester. I had a feeling it was too old for the job. I found a bk 490 on eBay and it comes with the cr23 adapter. I also want to thank you for your youtube videos on unfreezing a bsr turntable. I had one that was very sluggish and was never able to remove the gear from under the turntable. Your advice with the soldering gun loosened it right up. I took it off, cleaned and regreased it and now it works like new.

I moved to Albany NY from Mississippi 4 years ago. These little projects keep me busy during the cold winter months. LOL.
