Seconded.,........
The CR70 is a great checker, we had 2 of them & a few
B&K's, a Beltron and something else I dont remember.
Always went to the CR70. Only bad thing was the cables needed replacement
every few yrs BUT they got a real work out. The B&K's were as good but
not quite as easy to use.
I would NOT use a beltron on any CRT until it was a lost cause.
SRY that will piss some off but the Beltron was more of a marketing
tool than a serious checker / rejuvenator.
Bottom line IMHO is if you buy a CRT tester the CR70 is as good as
you can do.
