Re: Notes about washing Tektronix Oscillosopes
Domestic water softeners, yes.
However laboratory systems for deionising water still use ion exchange resins but these are designed swap all cations for H+ and all anions for OH- so the result is

Re: Notes about washing Tektronix Oscillosopes
I agree that you don't want the residue from hard water left on anything, but in reality, most of the rinse water will (should) be removed by air-blasting. There can be some left for evaporation, but

Tek used to have slip-on plastic covers to slip over the cardboard electrolytics.
Probably hard to find now.
But, you could use condoms !!? Lubricated variety not necessary :<)

Sorry, I don't buy it.
Poly silicone oil/grease is NOT soluble in water. It is possible that a microscopic amount could be dispersed in suspension, but without an intentional process to emulsify

It is a bit more complicated than just the ions and what is left after

Re: Notes about washing Tektronix Oscillosopes
They are different double resin ion exchange systems as use to produce "deionised" water. They swap H+ for the cations, and OH- for the anions.

Re: Tek 468 problem
Bill,
I'm wondering if that's noise from the D-to-A converter circuit, maybe because a low-pass filter cap is open. I'd suggest to check on the Storage Display Logic Board (A16), which is the
