Rebonjour a tous!
Many thanks for the notes, it was from a ham radio flea (SV ARRL) or a silent key friend's estate. Very little use.
1/ After contact cleaning and exercise, Divider is working 100%, in all switch pos.
2/ I used MS-230 contact cleaner, original lube is still present on all switches.
3/ The ratios are within or better than spec, tested with Fluke 8842A.
4/ The crinkle finish is quite pleasing, Used IPA, then paint thinner and finally acetone of the paint of the case,
impossible to remove the huge paint stencils without affecting the finish. Any other things to try?
Many thanks again.
Jon
