Am refurbing the relay contacts in my BC-375E and expect to have to readjust the contact spacing when I'm done.
All contact surfaces in this beast so far have been oxidized to the point of non-conductivity. I get a ripping 10mA total plate current at 500VDC. It dips and I can hear CW/MCW on the other side of the garage w/a '348, so it's not totally dead.
Anyone have a custom set of needle-nosed pliers I can borrow for a few days (hope springs eternal, hihi!), or know where I can get one/fabricate one? The '191 manual says to just drill out a pair of regular needle-nosed pliers, but the steel on even the Harbor Freight cheapies is way too hard for the skinny drill bits and loosey-goosey drill press I have. Maybe a custom 2-fanged grabber tool out of piano wire?
I can build the relay timing light unit and the adjustable test arm (Thanks, Mike!), Just can't get at the contact lock nuts w/o tearing them up.
