My Beltron eBay score!

I got this Beltron from eBay for $9.95 (plus $20 shipping) it came with the adapters, Beltron Labels and warranty cards, it also has the Owners Manual.

Bonus feature, it works! It could use a cleaning and a new cord, probably ought to replace those two caps also but it works as is.

What amazed me was the lack of parts inside this thing, Looks like Muntz built it but it does the job.

I restored a couple tired tubes just to see what it could do.
I did a 10BP4 that was really worn out and a weak 14BP4 in an Emerson set.

Both tubes went from weak with basically zero life test to strong with about 10 seconds life test!
I stuck the 10BP4 in an Admiral chassis I have on the bench and it comes on strong and bright.

I'm not a big fan of rejuvenation but this does seem to be different and it's better than not having a tube at all.
I'll have to run one of the tubes for a while and see how it holds up.

Here's some pics of the Beltron.
