Re: Decomposing Cam Switch Drum
It seems that the color rules are:

Re: Tek 4041 GPIB Controller
I have these 5 tapes for the 4041, any chance someone has a working 4041 still and can back them up? If they aren't dead that is. I'd be willing to pay for shipping both ways and for your time.

Re: Decomposing Cam Switch Drum
I had problems with broken individual cams and bushings in the attenuator of a 7A29, which I think are the same gray plastic. I had to do some tricky repairs to put them all back together. The story

Re: Decomposing Cam Switch Drum
I have some (PG506 for one, IIRC) cam switches that are cracked on the ends, and I expect they're on borrowed time. Nothing as bad as in Clark's photos, though.
