Re: 2215A LVPS repair

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair

Color match for 500 series knob
Hey all, Does anyone know of a paint which is a close match to the knob color on 500 series scopes? Vallejo Air "Dark Sea Grey," "Dark Grey Blue," or "Black Grey RLM66" seem like they might be close.
