I want to do a calibration on the htr. I just replaced all the old caps in it. In the manual, it says to connect the DMM to pins 1 and 14 of adapter #3. What if I don't have a #3 adapter. Is there another I can substitute? Or connect to the main adapter? Thanks
 
I would look for a 13 adapter even if the only thing you use it for is calibrating. I've seen them on ebay before.
 
Pins 1 and 14 of CR3 are just the two heater connections. If you want to use a different adaptor you can or you can just connect to positions 1 and 2 of the Molex adaptor.

For reference, CR23 positions would be 9 and 10.

are the caps about the only thing that you have to worry about when "refurbing" a B&K?

havent done anything to my 490....ever! think it might be time to do so especially while im digging through tvs at the moment.

is there a parts list for caps(capkit type)?

also, while im at it and not wanting to derail or start another thread, but what does it actually mean by setting the tracking one division? i never understood that and think im doing it right by turning each gun til it moves one number(div?) up(which is usually at 0 to start anyway moving it to the next marker 1). am i doing this correct?
 
I would def make sure the resistors are within tolerance. It doesn't deal with arcade machines but I just recently did a Knight KG-600B tube test for old radio and TV tubes that was made in 1964 and a lot of the resistors were out of tolerance. I replaced them all with the cap then calibrated.

By the 1 division question I believe you just go up 1 line for the voltage that the CRT is taking up. It probably has something to do with a voltage drop when it's hooked up to a CRT. Just my take on it.

ok, are there a ton of caps? i wouldnt think so but never opened up yet.

well that's my take on it also is just move dial til it barely moves up on each gun dial!

No. The 467 only has 7 caps. The biggest caps are hardest to get are the 50uF 450W. That's what they have listed in the parts list for the 466 and the 467, but when you open them up, they are actually 47uF instead. I'm not sure about other models.
 
A 490 is not very old and likely does not need any capacitor replacements.

The "divisions" are on the meter scale. Each of those tiny little lines are a division.

ok thanks Ken, i figured that's what it meant but not really understanding what "tracking" is in the first place doesn't help me any! i've been doing it correctly then, cool!

what happens when the "Focus Ok" light does not come on? not repairable?
