This past Friday at the NJARC auction I purchased a B&K model 500 tube 
tester for $9.00. I did a quick little restoration on it, gluing the 
black material on one side of the case, giving the case a nice 
cleaning, replaced all the capacitors, 1 out of spec resistor and 
replacing the 2 selenium diodes with 1N4004 diodes and cleaning all the 
switches and potentiometer.

The tester works great now all I need is to calibrate it. Does anyone 
have that information plus any tube charts you can email me.

I found some information on the web (Joe Cro, go to 
http://www.tone-lizard.com/B%26K500_manual.htm since you bought the 
other one) but it lacked the calibration instructions.

Thanks,
Sal
