Are CRT adapters the same between B&K and Healthkit?

I am wondering if they use the same molex type connector to the rejuvenator. The neck board connector should be the same to the CRT.

Curious. I need to either buy or make some adapters for a Sharp EZ CRT and a couple others.

thanks
 
i don't think they are the same but you can check. the Heathkit adapters can vary as they were put together by hobbyists and the pinouts (and male/female sides) weren't always done the same.

i made an adapter for my Heathkit and posted about how to do it at some point... possibly in the monitor section now but i'm not sure.
 
I need an adapter for a Zenith tube on a WG K7193 monitor, I'm pretty sure its a common one (CR23 for B&K). Do you know where I can find the parts to make an adapter, I dont have any spare tubes laying around. Thanks for any help.
 
Heathkit adapters

For years on my Heathkit I've just used a homemade pigtail adapter -

It is just a molex connector on one end, and small female molex pins (covered with shrink-tube) on the end of each wire.

Be glad to figure out and send the pinout for you if you need it - just send a PM to remind me.

here's a link to my thread when i built my cr-23 adapter:

as i already stated, you have to make sure your wire colors on both sides of the connector line up correctly... the pin numbers on mine may be different than the pin numbers on yours.

oh, and i didn't get around to taking a picture of a rejuve'd tube but i have used it a number of times since and had only one unsalvageable tube (bad gun) and a bunch saved or made nicely bright. nor have i made that cr-31 adapter yet. reminds me that i should.
 
Thanks for all your help guys, i wish i knew where to find that socket to build an adapter. I have the molex connector. I called a couple tv repair shops about maybe a broken neckboard or something and they wouldn't even talk to me.

Any 25" to 13" TV should work for a CR23 adapter. Some 19" TV'S will have a CR31 8 pin though.
 
Heathkit pinouts as requested

Here are the pinouts for the Heathkit - as mentioned, these were kit built, so verify yours first - I have had two of the units, and those two were the same at least.

Here are pics of my adapter - I should get around to building one with actual CRT connectors, but this works when I need it, then I put it away and forget about it...

Hope this helps,
