Repair of Set Screw Attachment for Tek-made VAR Pots
Quite a few years ago, I came across my first broken Tek-made VAR pot, the grey plastic ones. The plastic had broken near where the shaft enters, so that the set screw could no longer bind tightly to

Why attribute that to me? I didn't write the statement you quote as being mine, but I can see where it would make sense. Try it this way: Pink paint can be used to repaint a red fire truck, but pink

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Thanks for clarifying that, Chuck. Was there a different model where that was a problem? I seem to recall the issue but don't recall which model(s) were affected. Hopefully I'm not crossing up Tek and

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Ozan, I do know these can be swapped in some manuals. I made sure to change the parts one at a time to make sure. It is good to remind us to keep from blowing parts. Anyone of us can make a mistake

You may already know but at least in some service manuals component placement diagram shows location of C1132 and C1115 swapped (wrong). This was the case for my 2467B, I assume it also applies to
