Anybody own one of these?

I picked this up awhile back. Can not find any instructions or docs on it.
One plug hooks up the the hv wire, the other plugs into the harness that would normally hook to the crt. The other harness, the ones that has the clips on it, goes to the yoke assembly on the "test" crt in the case. This is where I'm stuck at. I have no idea where to hook this up to a chassis.
I think it's a cool piece of test equipment. I just would like to find the instruction set. So I'm hoping somebody got some info on this.

Sorry I don't have the docs, but I assume you need to disconnect the existing yoke in the set and hook this in it's place.

Odd that it has an ion trap magnet on the neck. I believe it uses a 5AXP4 which doesn't need one.

Yes and no. I have a different brand model and vintage but it does essentially the same thing.






Essentially there are three ways to use these. The first way is to pull out the CRT and and stick it in the set as a smaller, lighter test tube for when you don't want the original jug in harms way or slowing you down. The second way is to use the TV's original yoke (which will result in better linearity, etc.). And lastly you could use the internal yoke of the test jig in place of the TV's original yoke (some sets may balk at a different yoke, but when you can't get the original off the tube, and the TV's original CRT is mounted to the cabinet seperate from the chassis making testing the picture between trouble shootings laborious you will be happy to have this test jig).

My test jig has instructions on determining which windings on a yoke are which, by checking resistance. If my picture of these instructions is illedgible (which is likely) I can get a better picture later on and post it if you are curious.

Hope this helps.

If you could that would be great! The one posted is a bit blurry for printing.

I have both a 5AXP4 and 8XP4 and each is handy for different kinds of sets. Here are little articles about them:

http://www.antiqueradio.org/5AXP4PictureTube.htm

http://www.antiqueradio.org/8XP4PictureTube.htm

The 5AXP4 does not need that ion trap magnet, as Bob noted.

Stusynder, if you don't need that ion trap, would you like to sell it to me? It looks exactly like the one used in my Admiral 24C15 and I would like to do a little experiment with an alternate magnet. You can send a PM or send me email by going to http://antiqueradio.org/contact.htm .
