...I have a 752A with loose contacts on the 9 pin socket and it causes intermittent readings similar to what you describe. Traditional contact retensioning is a temporary measure. The real solution is to replace the socket....but that won't be happening anytime soon because it's really a 10 pin socket...nearly unobtainium. Will probably perform a contact transplant procedure when I get the time and nerve.

Yes, a "burn-in" of sorts is plausible... - Steve O 21:58:17 06/15/12 (0)
