Tek 7000-Series pushbuttons
Gianni:
Hi Guys,
I like to restore old Tek 7000-Series scopes. I ask you some suggestions related to pushbuttons.
I noted that the writing is very light and that almost any cleaner destroy them easily. Now I clean them with just water and a swab and then apply some transparent coating to protect them. I am considering creating water slides with a printer and then applying them. Has someone an experience in that?
Second question: how do you clean them? Deoxit? Isopropyl? Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much.

I wash the instrument cases and front panels with hot water, a brush and soap :-+

I clean the switch caps with dish soap and water.
The switches are the wiping type so *must* be lubricated after cleaning or the contact surfaces will destroy themselves. I use MG Chemicals Super Contact Cleaner part number 801B which is a combined cleaner and lubricant.
