I have one of the freon filled tektronix HV probes. It has a very irritating defect, I think I can make it look nice with a bit of very fine sanding and using car compound and polish on it.
The problem is the main connector on the tip of the probe is a screw that is embedded in the acrylic or whatever plastic cone tip/dielectric tank.
The area between the conductive pin and the clear plastic became a big foggy/spotty. I can polish the exterior but the interior looks like it has a skin infection. Can this be fixed safely, perhaps by dripping acetone in there with a tiny needle? Or some kind of really thin super glue or super glue dissolved in something really thin?
I would like to know before I end up sourcing freon for this or trying to fuck with it to accept silicone oil in its span.
Never mind, it looks like you can unscrew the entire tip so long you have a nut driver to remove it and I guess you can even polish the inside but i dunno if thats recommended ?
