A question for the scope repair people

[Peter Laidler]

I don't know about your scope but from the description, it seems as though the graticle block or diaphragm is made from several pieces soldered together (not a good idea!). I was taught only to soft solder stretched wire across and a single grat. post into the core (the hole). BUT, I have heard that superglue (as opposed to epoxy resin) is as good as anything.

HOWEVER......, if you need to solder where it's been superglued in the past - as I have had to do, putting others bubbas right - then soldering is a bit of a pig. Maybe yours has got to be thoroughly scraped clean of ANY old glue residue.

Top marks for trying though
