465B - Power Switch Mounting Nut Question


 

A few months ago, I removed the trigger board from my 465B to work on the power supply caps. I started reassembling it and was left with a small nylon(?) block with a hex nut holder and a small slot in it. See the album below for pictures of it.

/g/TekScopes/album?id=64907

If I'm not mistaken, I think this is used behind the nut that holds the power switch in place and I used it that way (last picture); however, I'm wondering if I have it turned 180-degrees and the small slot is supposed to align with the main board.

Is that where that part goes and, if so, is it supposed to align with the other PC board? I've found one picture on the web that shows it and I think that's correct but would like to know whether I have that right.

Thanks,

Hi Barry, a few weeks ago I had to do the same (horrible) job of replacing the power supply caps in my 475A, same construction. And I also wondered why Tek used such a "distance" holder for the PCB to lock the nut. I mount it exactly as yours in the first picture and it?s sitting sturdy and fine.
So if you mount it as picture 1 and it?s alligned with the other board it is OK.

Hey Barry,


Ive added two pics from my 465 to your album, the Slit needs to align in to
the PCB.
