CAI 303 display maintence

[Nick Kennedy[_3_]]

Hi All
My CAI 303 display has got a couple of intermittently working buttons.
Can I take this apart at home and clean them?
Has anyone done this procedure? How do you do it?
Thanks in advance.

Nick,

I think there is one on W&W's used instruments for $100.

Of course you can!Â* But, can you put it back together? :-D

I've had good experience doing what you suggest and, knowing that there
are cheap replacements for sale on line is a boost.Â* Give it a try and,
if you kill it, talk with Evan.

Or you could contact Gary Kammerer.Â* He's great at fixing these things.

Open up.
Do over a surface that will show parts you take out.
Clean the contacts with a strip of paper.
Make sure buttons don't stick when reassembling.
Not brain surgery.

Also,
Caig "DeoxIt" is an excellent contact cleaner.

Turn the flow to minimum and still use less than you think necessary.
