Agilent U1272A - Holster quick Fix

[Kiriakos-GR]

When I got my own U1272A I did notice that at the back of it, the tilt bail lock mechanism,
was a bit off position.
This caused the tilt bail to open by it self.

I did notify Agilent about it, but I could not wait for their fix,
and so I waked up the Odysseus from Ithaca that I hide in me.. 

I was trying for hours to find one simple and easy solution,
that every one can reproduce, even an 10 years old child.

And I did find the solution.
All that I had to do, was to add one tiny bold-nut 2.2mm thickness at top point,
of the locking system.
To enter the lock nut in there was almost easy to do.
And when it was in place, I just use my hot air gun, for 10 seconds,
by aiming on the tiny bold-nut.

The lock point moved down just 0.5mm, and that's it. 

I waited 30 seconds so the plastic to cool down with the bold-nut in place.
If the center point goes is place with the heat, the bold-nut starts to free-play,
and the removal of it needs no effort.
Three minutes later = complete cool down, tested it and I got 100% success.
And the most amazing, is that the lock mechanism is very well made,
the locking point on the tilt bail, is made in a way that the middle axle acts as spring,
and in long term, is almost impossible to be ever an issue in this area.
