Just took possesion of a new Excalibur II. Heard stories of knobs coming off etc.. Anything I should do before I take it for its first spin to possibly head off future problems that may arise? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Great advice! I use Silglyde or Sylglide ( can't remember the spelling at the moment) 100% silicone grease generously on the contact pins in an effort to thwart corrosion and ensure good contact. I have several products that may be good incl divers silicone (scuba pro ), and die electric grease but the Silglyde is very inexpensive and made for this type of application. I will make sure I clean it up and inspect it for any sign of green crud, then reapply.cjc said:Number one on my list would be to rinse your bat lead contacts--the pins in the Ikalite plug and the sockets on the actual cell. Use a toothbrush to be thorough and get under the rubber flange. If the salt stays on them they will turn green and start to give intermittent power--affecting the threshold and unit stability. Hard to tell that's the problem too.
