Hi Ed,
I believe they can be replaced individually. I once saw a Tek made backplane
connector repair kit for the 7000 series. At least I recall that is what it
was for.
What I wonder about is how you would go about aligning the pins perfectly. I
don't recall seeing any way to do that in the kit I saw.

Subject: [TekScopes] 7904 plug-in connector pins
The recently fixed 7904 has no readout in the A-horizontal slot. I found the
likely obvious cause - some bent and broken off contacts near the top of the
plug-in connector. I believe that these contacts can be replaced
individually, in situ, but have never needed to do it, so not absolutely
sure. I have entire spare main interface boards, so could conceivably
replace the whole thing, but that seems like an awful lot to go through.
I could tell by looking at the spare parts, but they're at another location.
Could someone please confirm whether these contacts can be replaced
individually? I'm picturing turning the scope on its back and performing the
surgery all from the plug-in compartment side.
Ed
