I finally got around to purchasing a CRT tester off of Epay, a Sencore CR31A "Super Mack" tester. It came today and I was about to hook it up to my CRT when I realized that this tester didn't come with the type 1 socket

does anyone happen to know the pinout for that socket so I can, at the least, attempt to hook it up with paperclips and jumper wires?

also, if anyone has sockets 1 2 and 3 they're willing to sell I'd love to purchase them




There's always something wrong with everything I do :sigh:

The pinout of the 11 pin connector coming from the unit is as follows:

1.) Heater + Ground
2.) Red Cathode
3.) Green Cathode
4.) Red G2
5.) Green G2
6.) Blue G2
7.) Blue Cathode
8.) Red G1
9.) Green G1
10.) Blue G1
11.) Heater

A monochrome tube uses the red gun connections, so you connect the corresponding pins of a suitable duodecal CRT socket to an 11 pin plug as follows:

CRT Pin CR31 Pin

1 ---> 1
2 ---> 8
10 ---> 4
11 ---> 2
12 ---> 11

This will get you an equivalent for Adapter #1.

thanks!
