So I did this, I double checked the wiring between the nylon receptacle and the socket. Am I good to go and test this on a g07-cbo 19" ? Anything else I should be checking ?

Thanks

Glad to see you were able to make one. I saw your other thread. If you've got the pinout an have followed it correctly, that should be all you need to do. Just make sure you don't have the wiring mirrored! Looks like you have an official B&K paper on the CR23 socket though so you should be good to go! maybe test it on a tube that has bad emissions or bad burn in so in case there is any mistakes it won't be a good tube. Nice work!
 
What I mean when I say "mirrored" is the diagram you have shows the top view of the socket, but when you are soldering I'm sure you will be looking at the bottom of the socket, so just make sure to account for that.

Hello, yes. The top of the crt socket has the numbers engraved on so I checked those and for the receptacle I considered the number 1 to be the one shown in the diagram that I think indicates the female part ?
 
It seems I have more problems on this 467 unit. It turns on and could set to 6.3v on display but the tester tells it's 0,23v … it was 0v before spraying isopropyl alcohol on the cable connections. It must be water damage as it's clear from the picture. Oxydation all the way. I will take it apart and inspect it.

The B&K 467's are 30-40+ years old. I've rebuilt probably around 15-20 and I have only found 1 that I didn't find anything wrong with it. Cold solder joints, leaking caps, out of spec resistors, failed diodes and transistors are all common on these. Not to mention all of the other surprises you find from people trying to repair them or damage from wear and tear.

With that said, I don't recommend using these as a trustworthy testing/restoring tool until they have been fully refurbished and recalibrated.

What calibration do you suggest? I picked one up recently and bought a cap kit for it but haven't tried it at all yet.
 
I was testing this on DC instead of AC (as the picture shows). Voltage is there
 
Did you pull that socket from a neckboard?
I did my first ones like that, but now I just leave the socket connected to the PCB and cut applicable traces. More durable and less likely to lose.

No it was included in the item I bought
