Re: A Way to (Sometimes) Repair Broken 22xx Knobs
I use RTV sillycone. Just a dab in the bottom of the knob then push it on. Let cure for a day and you are all set. Benefit is you can still pull the knob off in the future.
Regards,
Tom

Re: A Way to (Sometimes) Repair Broken 22xx Knobs
Great tip. I thought of that but was not too sure about hitting the front panel with a hot air gun. Since I do have a hot air station with adjustable temperature, I will try that.

What generally happens is one side of the little plastic retainer clip on the inside snaps off.

Re: A Way to (Sometimes) Repair Broken 22xx Knobs
Hello Philip,
Please let me add to your comment a way to remove the knob caps that I find works.
As you say, they are old and brittle and prone to having the clips break off when pulled off. I take

Re: 2456B whole display moved up on the CRT
Does this affect all four channels? If so, I would suspect a problem in the vertical output, perhaps as simple as one of the CRT neck leads ha come off, or something in the vertical chain has failed.

Re: Question
I think they are 0.125 inch diameter. Hobby shops carry 1/8 inch carbon fiber rods that I have found to be non-conductive and it works for that shaft.

My trusty 2465B now has a vertically offset display on the CRT. The bottom of the normal display is now at mid-point. Has anyone seen and solved this problem? Where do I look for the source of this

Re: 555 on Detroit craigslist
Hmm, I had a ham radio friend whose tomcat used to sleep on top of his vintage HF rig -- until one day it let some cat tinkle dribble out.
