B&K Precision CRT Rejuvenator Extravaganza!!!

[Robran68]

+1 on all of this.

I bought 2 on eBay - one working, one not - and fixed the non-working one. With the right adapters added to the deal it sold for more than I paid for both units.

The right adapters can make the deal go well north of $100. Especially considering that the right used adapters (for arcade use) go for $30 to $40 each.

I bought a combo deal off here. Got a 470 with a new CR23 and a non-working 467. Fixed the 467 with some cold solder joints repair and some new caps. The 470 also had about 6 adapters with it including a CR6 which works on BW vector tubes. I bought both units with adapters for $80 shipped so I guess I did pretty well.

Since we're on the subject of rejuvenators, has anyone ever sent their unit to B&K for repair or calibration? I've heard that they will still do that for their equipment. I have a 470 that works, but I've thought it might be nice to have them give it a good once over to make sure it's working as good as it can.

Thanks for the link, Ken. Looks like they don't even service anything that's been discontinued for more than 7 years. Even at that, they want $200 or so to calibrate a non-warrantied 490B so I can only assume it would be that much or more even if they did anything with my 470. I can understand their position though.
