B&K 440 rejuventor

[shess]

So I've got some color bleed on one of my monitors and I'm thinking I need a tube rejuvenator.  I found a good deal on a B&K 440, but I'm not sure if this will do what I need it to do.  I've seen a lot of people on here like the 467.  What's the difference and should I get it?

why would colour bleed require a rejuvenator-sounds like caps could be the issue,when your colours start to die is when you need a rejuvenator

I've already done a full cap kit so I don't think that's the problem.  I did some searching on Google groups and the color bleed is probably related to a weak gun.  A rejuvenator can help with that.

Bleeding is usually the sign that your contrast is too high, or one of the color gains is turned up too high.  Rejuvinating is what you do when your colors are weak, not strong.

A 440? That thing belongs in a museum. It's ancient---way too old for use on modern tubes unless it's been extensively modified to use modern tube adapters.

A 467 is the oldest model the factory still supports. It's also a helluva great unit.
