Yokogawa TY720 multimeter parts
« on: March 19, 2023, 11:39:46 am »
I have the TY720 for many years and the coloured plastic shrouds that go around the input jacks, break and no longer provide support especially when using straight banana plugs. I have checked with the agent in Oz, no spare parts even though the meter is still sold, only option to return to Japan for repair and $$$.
I wonder if anyone knows where to obtain such items or if there was a 3D drawing to enable PLA or Resin printing, the wall thickness is quite thin at 0.8mm. Thanks, Alan.

Update:
Obtained some Acetal rod and machined up shroud, had to be in 2 pieces to keep the lathe setup fairly simple as wall thickness was just on 1mm, used Loctite 401 as adhesive along with Loctite 770 as a pre agent, seems to be holding so far, but it was a reasonably good push fit anyway. Unfortunately Acetal doesn't come in Red, so some Texta colour on the white stuff will have to do. Now I have the basic dimensions will try and Resin print some once I learn CAD drawing.
