HP3300A Function Generator Restoration

I blame ‪@CuriousMarc‬ for getting me hooked on this particular line of devices. Not that I ever can afford decent ones, mind you, but I think the restored one I have now is also quite OK for my type of projects. The HP 3300A function generator is a model that was released in 1970, according to the only information about that I could find. The lock/unlock feature of the plugin might be clear as day to others, but I had not seen this device before and it did come banged up so I didn't see how it was supposed to work. I decided to do my usual recapping and contact/potentiometer cleaning on the unit; sadly though, I have to admit that one of the potentiometers suffered "catastrophic failure". The wiper element is a (sintered?) carbon element and it got stuck between parts during assembly and cracked. If anybody knows where I might get a replacement for these strange potentiometers, I'd appreciate a hint. It has an odd axle diameter, the 5k linear would be easy as pie. Also, if anybody out there knows where I might get my paws on an affordable 3302A and 3305A plugin... just to complete my collection, it's not that I have immediate use for these, but you know the ground rule of test gear: you never know what you need until you need it RIGHT NOW. As for the metal break, I didn't bother filming that; mostly because I didn't expect any problems at all and then it kinda spiralled out of control on its own... Other than the shipping damage, it works quite well I must say, quite happy with it. Sorry for not showing any close ups of the circuit presentation section: the printouts turne dout to be too blurry and you can actually see more in the overview version. Injury count for this one: 2 - cut finger on sheet metal burr and stabbed paw with screwdriver UPDATE: The broken potentiometer seems to be a "Clarostat Model 63C3" with 5k lin. 0:00 Intro / Presentation / Disassembly 2:20 Oven / Dial Polish / Case and Plugin 4:38 Plugin Lock / Finish Plugin Disasembly 5:40 Limits of Disassembly 7:00 Power Socket Replacement 8:09 Recapping 9:15 Potentiometer and Switch Cleaning 10:15 Broken Potentiometer Slider 12:28 Bummer in the Oven / Transistor Fix 14:40 Case Assembly / Knob Cleaning 16:30 First Power Up / Tuning Issue 18:25 Rack Bracket Cover-up 19:10 Function Description and Demonstration 21:05 Quick Circuit Overview / Finishing Touches and Presentation / Outtakes Music: My Train's A Comin' Unicorn Heads (YouTube Audio Library) You can support me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/atkelar Vintage HP catalog, featuring the unit and plugins on page 321 and 322 - http://hparchive.com/Catalogs/HP-Cata...
