In the spirit of "I'll soon have to move my bench just to the other side of the garage door, because the garage is choke full of stuff," I just grabbed a cheap L&N decade box. BTW - does anyone have a manual for this, operation and/or servicing?
The 10 ohm module had a slipping shaft, and so I have to secure it, and also bring it to the correct indication of the dial. Other than that, it seems fully functional, and at least at a first round of measurements, close enough to indicated values.
Are there some recommended maintenance things to do to this? Some absolute don'ts?
For instance, I'm tempted to clean all contacts with pure alcohol and then apply just a bit of deoxit on the copper plates for contact conditioning.
Thank you for your input.
