Lars,
Thanks for the input. What I'm trying to figure out is a way to lubricate the switch without having to remove most of 'scopes' parts. This thing is packed tighter than a sardine can. Is there is an easier way?

You know that crap that makes your fingers slippery. ;)
The rod is probably heavily in love with some old, surrounding, once nice
smoothly slippery, now glue-ish molybdensulfide-like material.
It gets resurrected by mixing in some fresh "you know what". (that spay is
sold with various brandnames, in Sweden we call it "EMF200F (also very good
for potentiometer carbon tracks) or CRC 5-56 (Do not use 5-56 on
potentiometers, will kill the carbon tracks directly))

Subject: [TekScopes] My 453 is tough to twist
I'm striking out with the search engine. My 453 " Time/DIV " switch is
getting very hard to turn. Watt I'd like to do is to lubricate it and see if
she'll work for me.
Is there an easy way to get to this thing, or do I have to go the surgical
route? The manual says to get Tek 006-0220-00 which includes the lubrication
schedule and instructions. No luck Googeling it.... ..
thanks
