Up for review is my permanent repair to fix your ailing 41.
As some in the forum know, I had posted the question why my two 41CVs were acting strangely. POSTS. Nothing more, nothing less. Well the following is my permanent cure for one. It's posts where helplessly cracked beyond repair. What I resorted to were two 4-40 brass standoffs about .25-.27 inches long x .1875 OD.
Finished height above board = .200
The old post was milled off with a .1875 end mill and bored down about the thickness of the board (.070)
They were then epoxied into place.
Now proper torque can be applied to the 4-40 screws and the unit behaves as it should. Hopefully it will last another 29 years!
