I've put pics in a folder of the same name which show my probe and the damage I am trying to deal with.
The P6202 has a different tip than other Tek miniature probes. Mine has something stuck in the socket that the replacement 206-0230-01 (or -03) tip would go into, if I could even find one.
Has anyone fixed a damaged socket on the tip of a P6202?
I am thinking the "ideal way" to replace it would be to replace the socket? I cannot possibly grab the end of what is stuck in the socket. The micrograph shows a socket about 1mm in diameter, way bigger than the tips of my smallest pliers. It's TINY.
The only other pics of P6202 here on Tekscopes (that I can find) show the PCB with no tip socket.
How important is the "special tool" that I read is a part of the Tek tip replacement kit? This tip pulls out axially but that's hard to do when the metal prong is broken off. Pic of what was left in mine is in the folder.
From what I read here, my P6202 with the power supply is a preferred device and I would love for mine to work or for it to go to someone who can make it so.
I am in Canada.
If I do find tips and fix the socket, anyone else here to share a lot? I don't need 10.
Thanks for any advice, offers, suggestions.
