OH, the feet issue!

I lubricated the feet and the finger shield on the lower cover with Krytox [eBay again] and now they slip on and off, lock securely like new and the cover slips in place easily.

Krytox seems to be a good fan lubricant [available as a grease or liquid], discovered this 25+ years ago with a bathroom fan with bushings that started squealing after lubing with quality dino oil in only a day or so, but using Krytox, the fan ran quietly until I sold the house- at a fat profit years later...

All due to the Krytox??

Krytox is amazing stuff, use it all the time. Best to look for deals on eBay.

Can't resist...  When the house was ready to show my RE lady had a doc look within the hour and I asked my SO to mow visible from the bay windows. The doc bought the house within 1/2 an hour saying he "didn't want to lose the opportunity" [smart doc], at the listed price and wanted the JD tractor as a part of the deal. Fastest RE deal I ever made.

There are some nice wireless mice on ebay for about $14 and when I hooked one to a 54831M with mod's, upon new and repeated power ups the message "Windows recovered from a serious error" appeared, however cancelling the message allowed normal operation.

After unplugging the tiny transceiver and re-installing, the messages stopped.

These wireless mice are a handy [necessary IMHO] add-on to the scope.
