Rejuvenator Adaptors

[Oryk Zinyo]

Hey man would you help me modify my b&k466? I would be interested in purchasing a cr-23

Sure, are you interested in me modifying it or just stepping you through the process? Please send me a pm with the details of what you are looking for.

I have a sencore

are you only selling B&Ks or sencores also



I would need a 23 to suit if possible please

One of these Juvers is not like the other one...

On the topic of the Sencore's...

I have a Sencore CR70 in my rejuvenator collection as well, and correct me if I'm wrong (since I've never actually USED it), but Sencore uses a series of universal-style adapters, and not CR or CA style. In addition, there is a truly "Universal Adapter" (named as such) that was included/optional on the CR70. I just looked up a Sanyo EZ20 (B&K socket CR23) in the Sencore book and it lists the 510UTB22 tube as a #3 adapter, which most (if not all) of us should already have in our Sencore lids, as they were included at the factory, along with the other double-sided, double-numbered adapters.

Basically I'm saying if you own a Sencore, and it has the stock adapters in the lid, I don't believe you need any further adapters.

I have a SuperMack and it didn't have one of the universal adaptors like the later models. The numbering is different than the B&K, but it seems like the normal 23, 24 on the B&K translates to 22, 23 on my Sencore if I read the pin diagrams right. I think the main unit side of the adaptors is different from my SuperMack to the newer ones as well to make it even more complicated. When I get a little more free time, I need to dig into my Sencore and the docs. I was able to find a couple more adaptors for mine (one was a 22). So when that gets here I should be able to test it out. Don't take anything of what I just wrote as tested/verified/gospel.... I did some reading and pin comparisons, but that was it.

Doh!

Hehe, forgot about the SuperMack. Popular old 'juver.

I guess everything I stated only applies to the CR70's, which I erroneously assumed would be the model everyone has/is concerned with.

As for the OP's adapters : They look fantastic and I'm ordering a pair for my 467 as well

I would be happy to offer Sencore adaptors, but I do not have a readily available Sencore to base the adaptors off of. I know they are slightly different than the B&K adaptors and I really would like to get a Sencore machine in order to build and test an adaptors before I start selling them. I asked around locally last year and got some responses but I didn't really have time to play with it the way I should have.

Pm sent for a CR23, also wondering what adapter fits vector monitors like asteroids, tempest, star trek, ect.

Give me some tube numbers and I'll look them up for you. IIRC the Amplifone used socket 23 like G07.

The vector monitors use the following adaptors:

All black and white/monochrome use the CR6
Electrohome color monitors use the CR23
WG 6100 uses the CR24, though a CR23 can be used in a pinch if you are willing to modify your tube socket key.

I have spares of bk series adapters 1, 3, 7. I don't know what monitors would need them, But they might be useful if someone wanted to make an adapter. 1 is 12 wires, 3 is 10 wires and 7 is 4 wires.

They take this type (I confirmed this by buying one, but never got around to building one )

Thank you

Any luck getting a sencore machine? I got my 161 today and could use a 23 & 31.

No, I am still looking for a volunteer to loan me a machine so I can ID the parts and build the adaptors.

Found this awesome document on Arcade Archive for Sencore Big Mack and Supper Mack adaptors...

Here is a pic of the adaptors. I chose to solder the wire directly to the legs of the neck socket. Then I covered the soldered area with shrink wrap. From left to right the adaptors are a CR23, a CR30, and a CR31. The socket on the bottom of the pic is an example of the new neck sockets I have available for making CR23's.

wow those are nice!!!!

Yeah, I found that a while back, and gathered the parts listed. But, without a machine to test the adaptor on I stopped at gathering the parts.

I can't speak for the experiences of others, but this kind of online data is often close but not perfectly accurate. I have tried building things based strictly off of this kind of data before only to be dissapointed when I found that something was mislabeled. The best case scenario in this situation is it doesn't work; the worst case is damaging something. This is why I want to borrow someone's machine, so if something is screwed up I damage my tube.

I just thought of something. We could make a single adaptor to adapt B&K CR sockets with those square molex looking plugs onto to the round Sencore male connector. Then we could just buy your regular adaptors.

This is exactly what I was planning to do, if I could do it cheap enough.


Of course, I would offer single adaptors as well for those people convinced that they will only ever need a CR23...

 

[dezbaz]

I would send mine to you, but the freight is about $100 each way, making the project a bit un-viable

I think I might look into this to see what the wiring would need to be. They have the 86cp11 part needed for the sencore connector at Newark for under $9.

Sweet idea Vector! It would also be sweet if I ever upgrade to a 490.
