Beltron question...

What's the difference between the 8080-A, and the 2972-E?

They look very similar:

8080

We have the 8080 and and we don't know the wiring for the universal adapter. We also don't know how to post a new thread on this. Perhaps we can help each other?

Thanks!

Mine is the 2972-E. It works magnificently. Let me know if I can help with any details.

Big Dave and Andy are both right! Some testers made the grids common, but Beltron chose to make the cathodes common, and they all connect to pin 8. The CRTs with a single G1 pin use a different adapter.

My Beltron has an octal to a 9 pin adapter cable (labeled adapter A). The 9 pin connector is made by AMP. Does anyone know the exact model of connector that will fit it? I want to make my own adapter sockets.

I believe it's AMP (Tyco) 1-640511-0 using pins 640545-1.
