Yes, the 445 was the one we drug out as a last resort for tubes that were not really watchable and the customer wouldn't spring for a replacement. It was old, worn, and beat up...but it still kept on ticking. We had fabricated several adapters for use on newer bases.
We mostly used a B&K 467 for day-to-day testing and rejuvenating, and the 445 stayed on the shelf just for stubborn cases.
