  4. Re: How can I tell if my Beseler 45MXII is capable of taking a turret?

    45 MXII accepts a turret. Ther way you can tell is if your 45 series Beseler has a straight bellows as opposed to a tapered bellows you can use a turret.

    I've had two since the late 90s. It's a very intuitive system as you add what's needed. Need more red, add more red. I never used the probe. I found I was always where I needed to be within 2-3 test...
