The manual for Bk precision models 467 and 490 provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and troubleshooting CRT testers, including steps for setup, cutoff, and testing procedures. It also includes methods for restoring picture tubes by removing shorts, cleaning, balancing, and rejuvenating, to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the CRTs.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision manual for models 467 and 490 outlines a systematic approach for testing and restoring CRTs. The process begins with setting up the device by adjusting controls and checking for leakage using the SET-UP chart. If excessive leakage is detected, specific steps are recommended, such as using an isolation transformer for H-K leakage or proceeding to the RESTORE-(A) step for G1-K leakage.
The testing phase involves several checks: emission, tracking, life, and focus. If any issues arise, such as bad emission or tracking, the manual provides detailed restoration procedures. For removing shorts, the RESTORE function is used, and the REMOVE SHORTS button is pressed if necessary. The CLEANeBALANCE process is applied when emissions are low or tracking is poor, involving a sequence of holding and releasing the RESTORE button.
If these methods do not yield satisfactory results, the REJUVENATE process is employed, targeting guns with bad emissions. This involves holding the RESTORE button until specific meter readings are achieved. The manual emphasizes repeating tests and restoration steps as needed to ensure optimal CRT performance.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose CRT G1-K leakage and shorts using RESTORE function.
- Adjust G2 control for proper cutoff in SET CUTOFF mode.
- Use TRACKING button to ensure gun emission consistency.

Installation / Setup
Set all controls fully counterclockwise and set the G2 switch to NORM. Use the SET-UP chart to find the proper adapter and heater voltage, then select the HTR RANGE. Plug in the tube and power cord. Set the FUNCTION switch to SET-UP and adjust the SET HTR to the specified HTR VOLTS. Set G1 to 50 volts unless specified otherwise in the SET-UP CHART. Check the LEAKAGE lamps; if they glow, it indicates excessive leakage. Use an isolation transformer for H-K leakage, and for G1-K leakage, proceed to the RESTORE step.
Operation
Set all controls fully counterclockwise and set the G2 switch to NORM. Find the proper adapter and heater voltage in the SET-UP chart, select the HTR RANGE, and plug in the tube and power cord. Set the FUNCTION switch to SET-UP and adjust SET HTR to read the specified HTR VOLTS. Set G1 to 50 volts unless specified otherwise in the SET-UP CHART. Check LEAKAGE lamps; if they glow, leakage is excessive. For G1-K leakage, proceed to RESTORE-(A). Rotate the FUNCTION switch to SET CUTOFF, adjust each G2 control to add one division to the meter reading. For black and white tubes, use the Red G2 control. If the max G2 does not raise the pointer, place the G2 switch in HIGH position. Rotate the FUNCTION switch to TEST position. If emission is good, proceed. For bad emission, proceed to RESTORE-(C). For tracking, adjust the TRACKING control and check readings. For life, push and hold the LIFE button and observe emission levels. For focus, push the FOCUS test button; the FOCUS OK lamp should glow if the connection is good. If issues are found, follow the RESTORE steps: REMOVE SHORTS, CLEAN e BALANCE, or REJUVENATE as needed.
Troubleshooting & Error Codes
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for Models 467 and 490, focusing on testing and restoring CRTs. Key steps include:
1. Set-Up: Ensure all controls are set fully counterclockwise, and the G2 switch is on NORM. Use the SET-UP chart to find the correct adapter and heater voltage. Check for excessive leakage using the LEAKAGE lamps.
2. Set-Cutoff: Adjust the G2 control to add one division to the meter reading. Use the Red G2 control for black and white tubes.
3. Test:
– Emission: If all guns read in the good region, emissions are okay. If any gun reads bad, proceed to restoration.
– Tracking: Adjust the tracking control to set the highest gun at the SET TRACKING mark. If tracking is bad, proceed to restoration.
– Life: Observe emission levels and check for stability. If any gun indicates bad, proceed to restoration.
– Focus: Test the focus connection. An open focus connection cannot be repaired.
4. Restoring the Picture Tube:
– Remove Shorts: If G1-K leakage is indicated, press the REMOVE SHORTS button. Repeat if necessary.
– Clean & Balance: Use this step if emission is good but low or if emission is bad in the life test. Follow the procedure to clean and balance the gun.
– Rejuvenate: Use if emission is in the bad region or tracking cannot be corrected by cleaning and balancing. Follow the rejuvenation process and repeat if necessary.
These procedures help diagnose and address issues with CRT emissions, tracking, and life expectancy.
Safety & Warnings
Do not apply power to the CRT chassis at any time during the test of any CRT. Completely discharge High Voltage Anode supply of CRT before connecting it to the CRT tester.
