2465DMM repair and a $1000 US fine or one year year in prison?


 

Hi all,

I couldn't help myself and got (another) 2465 on "the Bay"
This time it was a 2465DMM, shown with the beamfinder button pressed (while nobody was pressing it :-)

Still, shipping from the States to Europe is not cheap, but they accepted my offer, and I am happy with what I paid.

Long story short: unpacking cost more time than the actual repair: Contact cleaner on the beamfinder switch and it was good to go :-)
When the time comes I will re-cap the PS and calibrate the scope, but for now I am happy (again).

Nice touch: I could be fined 1000$ US or be sentenced to one year jail time because I unauthorized removed a label :-) :-)

Pictures can be found here: /g/TekScopes/album?id=61275

Un saludo,

Leo

P.S. I could use the rear rubber feet for this DMM scope.


 

Leo,
Undoubtedly you should go to prison... not for removing the label... but for that steal you scored.
Lucky guy! Just a stuck beam finder button!
Rgrds,
Fabio

Hello Fabio & Tam,

I'd rather stay in rural Spain instead of going to prison, but if I must......
Anyway, I already added the original eBay picture from the add, to show how it was advertised, and I will add pictures of the feet later this morning.

Basically the feet are very similar to the feet of an 2465, but extended with an extra section of rubber so they match the higher cabinet of a DMM version.

Hi all,

pictures of the feet of a normal 2465 and a 2465DMM are in the album.
I think if I got myself two pairs of feet I can cut them so the upper half would fit as well.

When I cut the top corner of a normal foot, and than add a half normal foot, it will work?

Hi all,

I added a picture of a set of feet how they are supposed to look like.

I looked at both Qservice and Sphere, but they are not on stock anywhere...

Un saludo,
