I won an ebay auction on a bk490. Its pretty complete it has te following adapters: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,16,20,22,23,24,25,31,35,37,36,38. two number 1's(?), 3's, 7's. If someone needs the extras, let me know..

It came with lots of docs. I took some pics of them so if anyone needs a copy, of something, let me know. It has 3 setup charts. 1 is from 1991, the other is 1994. The mini setup is from 1989. Most of the other papers are from 1994..

Now I just have to figure out how to use it.. Can't imagine using any adapters beyond the common viedo game ones..

LOVE my BK490! The secret agent bomb case makes it choice. For adapters I don't think I've ever used anything but the 23,25,31, and maybe 30?

Yeah 23 covers a lot, but I made a 30 for the Matsushita in my Pole Position and a 31 for the small neck K7000. I've never had to worry about number 25 yet,but what is it for?

I have seen a 13" monitor out of a DK cocktail that used the 25. I am sure there are other monitors out there that use it also.

Yeah I couldn't remember if the Matty was a 30 or 31. :)
 
By chance did it come with the individual instruction/info sheets on each adapter?

If so, they tell how to build each adapter along with the wiring of each adapter. Many have NOT been scanned and have not been available.

Thanks for all the replies. I took a pic of all that came with the it except for a letter bk sent to the guy. Sorry no info on how to build an adapter. I would think they would keep that info under wraps as they were in the business of selling adapters.

One of the 1st monitors I want to try to fix is a small neck 19" k7000. Probably mess with it this weekend after I read a bit.
 
What did you pay for it? That's a crapload of adapters. I only have a CR-23, CR-31, and I think a CR-24 or -28 that is used for some vectors or B&W's....
 
Man you stole that thing.

If that's you, you got a hell of a deal.:D

That was it.. I was going to buy a local one for $150, but Figured this one was worth $250+. Surprised the bidding ended at $125..

if anyone is interested, I contacted this guy and we had agreed to $150 on his.. maybe you can use my auction to get a better deal.. Its up in sacramento and it was ebay no bid.
