Also, guidelines and practices for the Bell System were meant to maintain millions of contacts that were expected to undergo millions of operations without failure.? Your 8566B attenuator might see a few thousand more operations in its remaining service life.? ? If it wasn¡¯t working before you got your hands on it, and now it does, then you didn¡¯t go too far astray.? Say three Hail Barney Olivers and sin no more¡ ? -- john, KE5FX ?

I somehow doubt our system of coarseness is the same as yours, Chuck. 1500 grit paper is extremely mild. In fact it's used in car refinishing to buff up clear coat (varnish). So you can think of it as a basically just a polishing compound grade. And as I said, it was just a few light strokes to each contact area. I don't think I'll have any further issues with that and it's the o-rings I believe that will be next to fail. Anyway, I've reassembled it all now and will attempt the manual calibration procedure in a couple of hours' time. Stay tuned!
