Part 4/7:
After replacing the capacitors, the technician applied a generous amount of wood glue (specifically Titebond) to secure components and prevent vibrations. The glue was allowed to dry for 24 hours, ensuring stability and minimizing the risk of shorts caused by loose parts or vibrations.
Reconditioning and Cleaning
The entire assembly was reconditioned by spraying it with WD-40, which cleans and lubricates connections. Although WD-40 is not a long-term lubricant, it helps eliminate corrosion and improves conductivity in older contacts, extending the device’s lifespan.
