Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
Fair enough -if the contacts are gold then there won't be corrosion and IPA is just fine. I've wrestled with lots of silver plated tube sockets and connectors and there Deoxit and NevrDull are really

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
I may be wrong, but if this is in regards to the attenuator fingers, I think they're gold plated so no corrosion should be present and only cleaning with IPA is necessary/recommended. Thanks, Barry -

Re: Wanted 7B15
Let us all know how that turns out that one for $55 looked very clean at first glance Hi, when I got the 7B15, it looked very clean and had no shorts, but no function as well. After a "quart" of IPA,

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
Hi, just clean the contacs of the input attenuator with IPA. There is a video on youtube showing how to clean them on a Tek 485, but that procedure is absolutely the same. -- Best regards, Fred S.

If you need to clean switches I don't find Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)does a great job. I use the Deoxit products from CAIG. https://caig.com/ They have products for cleaning switches Deoxit D series and

Re: still trying to track down 2216 manuals
Hey Bill, you might try to ping the Vintage Tek museum folks and see whether they have the service manual on fiche. There's a tentative index of the instruments covered in this posting:

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?
Caig fader lube had a name change to deoxit fader lube a few years back. Terrific product designed specifically for this task. There also a product for cleaning switch contacts deoxit D5. Also

Re: still trying to track down 2216 manuals
Jim, My post was relating to Bill K7WXW's earlier post (see below). I don't own a 2216; I was just trying to help. I don't know if your suggestion has possibilities or not.... Colin.

Hello Ingo, while I do not know to 100 percent, I think they should be compatible. Afaik, the color Palette of the DPO / InstaVue actually is quite limited - Danaher accomplished the trick via Palette

Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
Hi all, I am trying to get my 465 scope repaired. CH2 has a problem where I get a flat-line (with some noise - signal is the calibration square wave) when set to the 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges. This is

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?
I hope you mean brake cleaner, as brake fluid comes in two types, neither of which seem good for inside of potentiometers....? one Glycol based and the other a synthetic base both with a viscosity

I rocked the horizontal and vertical controls until my fingers and wrist got sore while passing the time with some EEV blog videos, problem resolved and the stickiness has gone away, thanks for all

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?
A better cleaner for pots is Caig Faderlube. It has a little lubricant in it and will not attack the resistance strips. Also works on wire wound pots. Another place to get dry IPA is at a computer

Another vote for Deoxit products, always had good experiences with them.

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?
Deoxit D5 or DN5 followed by fader lube is what I do. The D5 gives it a good washout and the fader lube adds some lube hence the lube part of the name.

Well, the danger there is if it is dying from deterioration of the element, then that will only make it worse.

IPA won't help the problem with noisy pots. Pots get noisy for several reasons: In the cheaper pots that have deposited carbon elements, the noise is often caused by the wiper grinding its way through

Yes, it came with the straps which can be positioned in front, center, or rear slots in the tray. Will have to play around with it a bit, as my scope has a DM44 and accessory pouch on top. I will need
