I would try to put a little thin oil down the shaft. Take the knobs off and
just apply a drop or two to the shaft and allow it to soak in for a while. It
may take a few applications to break it free.

Subject: [TekScopes] T935A seized pots
help
?
Hi,
First posting on this group, hope someone can help....
I have a T935A scope which has developed a problem and I'd like to try
and fix it as its a very useful portable scope.
Basically two of the front panel variable pots, the Y2 axis variable and
the X axis variable have seized solid. Y1 seems okay.
So before I strip the scope down, which looks to be quite a job to get
the relevant pcbs out, has anybody come across this before?
Is there much hope that I can fix the existing pots or do they need to be
replaced (any suggestions for good suppliers that will ship to the UK?).
Many thanks,
Andrew
