I now have a B&K 470 picture tube tester. It has the adapters I need to be able to test round color tubes, 110 and 90 degree black and white tubes, and some other color tubes. So far it's worked great. But recently I wanted to test a late 70's 19" color tube, and I believe when I looked up the tube in the manual, it called for adapter 13 or something - which I don't have.

Does anyone have any pinouts or specs for these adapters - so I can build them? I want to be able to test 70's and 80's color tubes, such as the ones used in TV's and arcade machines.

Also, does anyone know the proper industry term for the Molex connector on the adapters? That would make searching for the proper connector a bit easier.

Thanks!

Try these - we've used them for years to build our own sockets for our B&K470:

The B&K testers use a .062 pin and socket arangement, not the larger .093.

Attachment shows what pin numbers on the molex connector are (pg 63)
