SLK and gang --- I have some new news, I tried all kinds of things including Pauls suggestion of just a simple cleaning of the entire main bored yesterday along with soldering some connections I did not like that where done from the factory, still no change, the X scale has been the most recent culprit and like I say they "take turns" and it seems like once one dominates you can pretty much count on it being the one to act up ------------ all fingers did point to the scales but was hard for me to accept the fact that they both basically went bad at the same time although alternated but so it did start with the X, and when you swap the X with the Y read out the glitch does indeed go to the Y readout and you would think that verified the X scale...
But ----------------------- I tried something very different this morning --- and yesterday after testing and being disappointed I just shut the DRO off and left it overnight,,, so today I had an idea, what if I swapped the X with the Y readout WHILE the DRO is off and sat overnight? what would happen? so I just got done trying it,,, the results? the X scale that is now showing on the Y readout is flawless, move the mills handle back and forth and instant registering --- then go to move the Y handle and the glitch is on the X readout, IT"S NOT MY SCALES and it's not the X readout either because remember when My Y scale would decide to act up it was connected to the Y readout and the glitch was there and the X scale and readout was flawless,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this is like I stated before almost like it's low voltage to run both scales and readouts at the same time and it just has to randomly choose one, and maybe that kinda gets locked away in some form of convenient memory glitch and repeats itself for the same scale and readout until you pull the old switcharoo when the unit has been shut down for awhile???
This is progress - Im going back down to check the basic power boards voltage except this time im doing it while it's connected to the main board and under "load" meaning lighting up the display and everything
