I just aquired a Tektronix 2215 oscilloscope (yay! It was free, in return
for setting up one as a vibaration monitor for a mechanic's class). The
front panel switches are mostly great, but a couple are a little "sketchy"
at times; what would be the best way to clean these up? The scope has seen
almost no use, merely been left unused and neglected for years, and the
function generator (same deal, also free!) looks great on both channels.

On a related note, does anyone have a scan of the user and service manuals
for a 2215? If not, I'll have to brave the unknown quality of the scans for
sale on Ebay. Luckily, I got several 10x probes in the deal too, so I don't
seem to need much else.
