I went down to the radio club today and got a couple of new toys. A B&K 465 in way better shape than my other one. All I had to do was replace the meter. I also got a vectorscope. I have seen videos of these being used, but I don't know how to hook it up or use it properly. Got both of these for $20.

Here's that B&K 465 I got today. I cleaned it with some Novus, and it is in near mint condition. Everything works perfectly.

I believe you hook it to the red and blue G1s on a set with color difference grid drive. Not meant for later sets with separate R, G, B to the cathodes.

Old tv nut, I figured out pretty quick where the wires for the vectorscope go today. The blue wire coming off the socket broke off from the stake somehow on my 1967 RCA Victor CTC-25.
Boobtubeman, the B&K 465 is quickly becoming one of my more favored tube testers. It's up there with my mint B&K 445.
