Any ideas? Possibly somebody swapped the wires on the deflection plates. Usually there are 4 wires poking out through holes in the CRT magnetic shield, with wires to the deflection amps. You could try swapping the pairs of wires. Jon |

Any ideas? There's a manual on ebay for pretty cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cathode-Ray-Oscilloscope-Du-Mont-Type-2559A-748-1047-Instruction-Book-1957-/161667404698?hash=item25a420d39a:g:HcoAAOSwBLlVJzTd This is a late 1950's scope so most that ever used one have forgotten about them. |

The vapours from that may condense on the lens...so it probably isn't a good idea. I had a similar problem with cockroaches getting into our printers - make quite a mess! I ended up just putting sticky roach traps all around the machines until the landlord got the bug problem under control. Haven't seen a roach in years though.

Napthalene smells like shit and is a poor insecticide. It's used in closed spaces where the concentration of the vapors builds up. I'd spray some permethrin-based insecticide in the vicinity, and maybe even inside the unit. The stuff is available in the form of bug spray which contains only around 0.25% of the stuff. It leaves no visible trace and the sprayed areas stay effective for weeks to months. |

So something lasting years looks unlikely. Perhaps advise the owner to squirt permethrin aerosol in the vent slots in a marked safe placeevery couple of months . |

And, both acute and chronic exposure to it can do Bad Things to the body. >The stuff is available in the form of bug spray which contains only >around 0.25% of the stuff.

| N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Jan 06 04:32PM Would a bit of napthalene mothball keep spiders and other small creepy crawlers out of the warmth of an always-on, so warm, bit of kit, or any better ideas to keep bugs out of there. Bose AWRC3G CD radio clock, started non playing of the odd CD then all CDs failed to play. Cleaning the lens, no difference, "Disc" in display, the same as with no disc in there. The whole unit was so full of fine spider web/cocoon silk? that you could not see the components of the PA/PS area. Odd bits of insect stuff around the optical unit. Removed the laser and lens unit from the sledgeway and air dusted under the lens area. Blew out the PA/PS area with 1kW blower. Now playing all CDs thrown at it, cured? I've twice previously come across bug cocoon/web actually inside the space under the lens of CD units ,in the laser firing line, as the fault cause. |
