Just wondering if anyone uses one of these. Been looking around for a rejuv. for a bit, but to get a 467 or better is pretty pricey and most people charge almost double to ship it to Canada. I found a B&K Model 466 and also a Sencore CR70 local that I may be able to get, Just wondering if it's worth my while. I have some tubes that are missing a color or shorts in a gun, stuff like that.

I would suggest the 70 over the 466 but I have used a few 466 machines in the past. They work fine but you'll need to modify the connector in order to use it on any of the color tubes. If you get the 70 check to see if it has the right adaptor's for your needs.
 
If the 466 has been converted to use the modern B&K "CR" series adapters, then it will be fine for you. You'll need a CR23 adapter for most arcade tubes so be sure it comes with one or you'll need to buy one.
 
Thanks Ken. He said all the adapter are with it and he used it on color tubes. I did not question whether the connector had been modified or not. If not, I'm sure with some instructions, I could handle it. Actually, this guy is not far from you, just a little North across the the pond near Victoria. Guess I'll go for it.
 
Depends on the mod... if you mod one of the existing adapters then you can use either. I'm going to try to use one of the existing adapters for Raven's rejuvenator.

I am going to try that too, if I can't find an old neckboard with the proper socket. I ordered everything today from Digikey to do the mod, so all I will have to do is wait for the unit to get here. Pretty much all I will need is the 23 and 31 adapters.

Neck adaptors are easy to find, just grab a few old CRT TV sets. Most 19" and above will use a board that can be adapted to build a CR23 and most 13" or smaller (and a few 19") have the right parts to build a CR31.
