Re: WooHoo! 465B
One thing I forgot to mention is that when I change a bad solid tantalum, I usually go through and find the other solid tantalums of the same voltage and capacitance and proactively change them as

Re: WooHoo! 465B
Usually solid tantalums can be replaced with low impedance aluminum electrolytics of 2 to 4 times the capacitance. The increased capacitance is necessary to duplicate the tantalums ESR or dissipation

Re: WooHoo! 465B
i was thinking of trying that. i already cleaned grunge and hair off that spot. a drop or 2 of a proper lube might help.

Re: WooHoo! 465B
Take the knobs off and put a drop of thin oil on the shaft where it goes into the pot. Give it a day or so and try it. Should help with the noise. Tom

Re: WooHoo! 465B
yes, i just tried it out. dual rate pot. it felt "grindy" and seemed malfunctioning but with this knowledge i can see it just needs some cleaning maybe, but it is functioning correctly. scratch

Re: WooHoo! 465B
I'll defer on the chemistry to ditter2 or Dave Hess. I'd put tants back in there myself -- probably 35 V ones.... -ls- "pdxareaid" <public_email@...> wrote:

Re: WooHoo! 465B
It is a dual-rate pot. You turn it just past where you want to be and when you back up it's a slower rate. You can feel it in the amount of torque you have to apply. If you can figure a way to get it

Yeah, I did look it up, but only in the midst of doing about 5 other tasks. I still wonder why I've never heard of it before; it's unusual I come across a non-technical word that I've never seen

thanks, the wonky pots are hopeless unless there is something i don't understand about coarse vs fine adjustment but i doubt it. 1st pass i will try to get them out and deconstruct without breaking

It's in the dictionary: 'discreetly cautious'. 'Wary' is 'marked by keen caution'. Not the same thing. Interesting article, although the author has some stylistic issues. The attempt to attach one

Re: WooHoo! 465B
If we're looking right above the power switch, I have 3 ea 15 uF @ 20 V tants. Looks like they are decoupling for +/- 8 & +5, so 20 V wasn't too close. I dunno. They die. Even with a couple bad tants,

Re: WooHoo! 465B
Phil, If I recall correctly, the 465B has a dual rate horizontal position control to give finer resolution when the sweep is magnified. This can seem like play in the control. --John Gord
