Re: Tekmate 2402 rebuild and programming
What more would you like to know? The limitation with the 2402 is simply its age. The hardware is well made so, that aspect of the age is not a big issue. But DOS is a problem. MANY modern interfaces

Re: P6201 FET Probe, 10X divider compensation question
Thanks for the explanation and correcting my flawed assumption. I was aware that it is very sensitive, so I've been extra careful and will continue to me. It's a great tool to have. I've noticed it is

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
Hi, You could search for "pot cleaning cap". They are commonly used for cleaning pots on guitars. There are variations on eBay. I have even seen people use threaded rod unions for the same thing.
