Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
I remember seeing in the distant past, a catalog picture of a pot/contact cleaner which threaded onto the pot threaded bushing. I guess you would then put in the cleaner/lube, and push a plunger to

Re: Where can I find TDS600C Field Adjustment Software?
Hi ...,
I just sent you the TDS600B software. This may work for you. I am not aware of the availability of the TDS600C software.

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
I do the same thing for repairing old electronics in general. If it is a sealed pot, unseal it. I just carefully drill a hole like you do Richard.

Re: 7B71 time base Timing Switch
Hi John,
There's nothing wrong with your 7B71. If anything, I am surprised at the speed of unblanking that I see, especially at 100 ns/div. Unblanking is when the beam, which has been suppressed

Where can I find TDS600C Field Adjustment Software?
Hi folks,
I have a Tektronix TDS654C that is in need of calibration, as I had to replace a couple of attenuators on the unit. I believe the previous owner must have severely overloaded a couple of

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
?would be interesting to submerge a "sealed" pot in a liquid and see if the pot eventually fills up, just as an experiment to see just how well these sealed pots are sealed.

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
My foolproof method is to drill
a small hole on the top side at
the rear. Pump in De-Oxit Fader
Lube and seal the hole with some
black tape.

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
An easier way with the modpot is to apply a drop on the red "square" on one side. It flows directly into the the track, sort of... Sometimes two applications are required.

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
Unless you squirt the contact cleaner in under pressure, I doubt that much
