Title: Ken: Question regarding restorer/analyzers
Post by: SirPeale on June 04, 2006, 08:36:39 pm

Been searching eBay for one.  I see a lot of ones from Sencore, are they any good?  Usually when I hear you speak of one you mention B & K.

I actually got a B & K model 400 from work a couple weeks ago.  Don't know if it even works.

The 467 is great! One of the best ones out there still supported by the manufacturer even though it's 30 years old. Just be sure it has adapter CR23 which is used for 90% of arcade game monitors. If it's not included, it is still made and available from any B&K dealer.

So this is used to restore burn in in monitors right? How well does this work? For $40 it might be worth the investment...

No no no burn in is permanent! A restorer is to restore weak emission and remove some types of internal shorts---sometimes restore focus too.
