[HAM] OT: sci pro1

[Bohachewsky, Andrew V.]

Hey Matt,

How's the Pro1 holding out? What if any maintenance have you had to do
on it? Have you ever had to clean the contacts or go through the
tuning/calibration process? (I have directions for that, doesn't seem
real easy).

I have a pro1 that was in very good condition until a family of mice
made their home in it over the winter. Yuk!!!.

There's a lot of room for creatures to get into it under the keybed.
Luckily for me the circuit board is "on top" attached right to the
underside of the control panel so the mice were underneath it rather
than on top of it - with just a little cleaning it looks to be fine.

All the rest I had to take totally apart, removed all keys, springs, the
keybed frame, power transformer, etc and washed all the pieces one by
one.

A lot of fun. I imagine putting it all back together is gonna be a lot
of fun as well...

Andy
