If your 465 is like my 466 then the main connector on the end of the CRT cable is a 10BP4 style socket...That socket plugs right onto those 10BP4s without an adapter. Mine did not come with a universal adapter so I made my own the lazy way: I took the base off a defunct oscilloscope CRT (same base as a 10BP4 but with all the pins populated, but of course the base from a dud CRT would also work) soldered leads into the red/monochrome gun and heater pins and made my own single gun universal adapter (I may expand it out to three guns someday). You can use the 10BP4 pinout or an existing adapter and ohms/beep mode of a DMM to figure out pinout of the adapter base. I color coded my wires and added some alligator clips to the ends and it workes fine anywhere I don't have an adapter but know enough about the CRT.
All you really need for the 466 to test a CRT gun is the heater leads, Cathode, G1 and G2. All the other pins of the CRT (like focus) are not really functionally connected.
