38-690 Electronic Restoration
#8

OK.


The contact goes first over the shaft, you will see an insulator around it where the ring of contact goes over. Hen the fibre gasket with a tab on it goes over the contact so the tab with two sides cover part of the contact leaf. That makes the gasket rotate with the contact.
Then the part with the handle goes over. The handle should be behing the pin sticking out of that part, and both handle and the pin aligne with the contact.

There is a paper sleeve in that part's groove and the contact has to go in it. Yours is not. There is also second contact inside. This sleeve is to keep the contact rotating with the handle.

If the paper is missing or damaged the contact won't work properly.

See the document about the automated tuning. It is a bit intimidating but eventually very good.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
