I built a IT-5235 in late '79. I found it more useful for taking accurate High Voltage measurements with the probe accessory.
It did rat out a few bad flybacks, mostly red-plating 6JE6 tubes in RCA color sets with proper grid drive (Go Figure

) which I confirmed with replacements.
It has a ring generator with settings A-F and you try each to get the meter to reach the green zone. Connect hor output cap to one lead and hv rect cap to the other lead.
