While everyone was in a bidding war over a B&K 490B on eBay, I scooped up this nice looking untested 480 with a pile of adapters for $80 shipped:
I know untested is a crapshoot, and I was ready to do some repairs on it, but I tested it on a junker 25" tube with crazy Aero Fighters burn and a dim picture, and it seems to work just fine. The monitor is missing its chassis, so I won't know what the end result looks like until I throw a spare in… But I'm still figuring out how this tool works.
It was estimated to arrive on Monday, but got here a couple days early, right on my birthday. Cheers to that!
