I was able to use two micro screwdrivers to insert in each side of the button from behind and gently rock back and forth to pop the buttons off my 485 and replace the push buttons. The places I couldn't reach with the screw drivers I used picks. Just be sure not to bust out the side of the button with too much pressure.

Re: 7000 series white plug-in connector
Good day, ?
may I second Dallas‘ advice. JB Weld has worked well for repairs of 5000-series front panel bezels, also.?JB Weld was hard to get in Europe, but it is available from Conrad.de and other sources for some time now...
Cheers,
Magnus
Jim,
I used 'J-B WELD Original' works quite well. Never had much luck with epoxy.
Mix it thoroughly and wait a little to firm up before using.

Greetings 475 and other Tek scope owners
The best way I have found to repair the labels on the face of the pushbuttons on Tek scopes is as follows:? You do not need to remove the pushbuttons to re-label them.
1) With the scope standing up remove the residue of the original labels with a rag moistened with WD40.? Hold the pushbuttons with a pair of needle point pliers with shrink wrap applied over the points then heated.? Clean the residue of WD40 on the pushbutton with a Q tip moistened with alcohol before proceeding.
2) Using your computer and a word processor create the labels you want in small size and a bold font.? Print a copy on paper and see how it fits the switches.? If you do not want to use the decal approach apply double sided tape to the back of the labels and press the taped legend in place.? Trim the edges using a sharp scalpel. The drawback to the tape idea is that you do not have the opportunity to position the legend exactly where you want it.
3) Print the labels using your laser printer on decal paper.? It is available at Office Mart, Staples or Kinkos.
4) Cut out the appropriate label, soak it in water for 20 seconds, place it on the top of the pushbutton switch and carefully slide the decal off the backing paper.? Position the decal where you want it and carefully blot it with a soft rag.? Allow to dry overnight.

Re: 7000 series white plug-in connector
Thanks, Jeff.
I'll try the epoxy, while being careful not to put too much on there and block anything.
Weekend project as I had to leave early from work and couldn't get the scrap HP 54504A DSO out of the building yet.? Monday for sure.

Re: scanned: Common Parts Design Catalog #5, Resistors and Capacitors, March 1989
I just stepped through the #5 catalog that I saved on my computer, and it seems to have everything from chapters 11 to 12 to 13.
Though there is a blank page with nothing on it, between chapters, and no error messages anywhere.

It was only the one that opened after I clicked the download arrow that did not reproduce all the pages correctly at the end of the 11 section going into the 12 section I was getting an error message that these pages would not open so it is just a glitch with to many copies I think.
