Been patiently watching for a good deal on a rejuvenator to come up, and finally pulled the trigger on a "too good to pass up" deal on eBay - BK 470 with 21 adapters for $50 shipped.

Just arrived today - powers up fine and I can adjust heater and G1 voltage appropriately (not connected to a tube).

Planning to do the heater calibration, but while I have it open I wanted to get input on anything specific to check for. Looks like the 467's are notorious for cold solder joints, and they have a laundry list of cap's; when peeking at the 470 innards, it looks much simpler and straightforward, but are there any common failure points I should be aware of?

Cap's looked fine fwiw (dual 47uf's @ 350v I believe, plus a smaller one) - given the age, I'm tempted to replace them regardless.

I see Ken's got a lot of guidance and input on the 467's, but I'm coming up dry for anything similar on the 470, so not sure if they're a bit more bullet-proof given the simpler design, or there's just not as much written up on them...

Anybody building/selling CR6 B&W adapters currently? Appears to be the only one I don't have that I'd want.
