Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
If possible, position things so that the tip of the drill points up. Stray shavings will fall away from instead into the hole.
Thanks,

Re: Typical 1502B faults?
Do the 1502 (A/B) even have the tunnel diodes?
I know that the 1503 has an avalance transistor pulse generator, which
does not have the same sensitivity to static damage as the tunnel
diode (which is

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
The easiest way is not to let them get in in the first
place.
What I do, though I don't do this very often, preferring
to disassemble pots where I can, is to first slide a piece
of brass tubing over

Hi Richard,
And how do you get the drill shavings out of the pot?

Re: Typical 1502B faults?
The interesting counterpoint is that the weak point in the 1502 is the
unobtanium tunnel diode. I did have one with a bad CRT and a bad HV
power supply (and a bad horizontal amplifier). Finding one

Re: Typical 1502B faults?
Unknown, but I suspect (don¡¯t really know) that the tunnel diodes are broke. Most of the earlier 1502¡¯s that we sent to customers on rent came back with blown diodes

Typical 1502B faults?
There are a slew of them on eBay for pretty nominal prices as parts units. How hard are they to repair?

Re: SMA caps for sampling heads
No reason you couldn't use a termination for the same thing, unless
you think that a static discharge across a 50 ohm termination might be
a problem.

Hi Albert,

On the right side: loosen two setscrews in the top and bottom rails just behind the front panel.
One the left side: loosen a small setscrew on the top of the lower rail. It holds the left module pivot

SMA caps for sampling heads
My SD-26 heads came with shorting caps. And I need caps for my SD-22 heads. I'm wondering though if non-shorting caps would be more appropriate. The male pin rotating in the female sleeve seems

Thanks Cliff. Before seeing your post, I figured out that the whole front comes off - the hard way. I started unscrewing everything front and back, and whole plug-in began to fall apart. It's pretty

Be careful with those knobs. The switching (partly physical contacts and partly an optical encoder) is contained entirely inside the knobs themselves. Disassembly is not recommended unless they

The limitation with the 2402 is simply its age. The hardware is well made so, that aspect of the age is not a big issue. But DOS is a problem. MANY modern
