At a recent impromptu tech session while standing in the TRF booth at
the VTR convention, somebody there explained that the hydraulic fluid
shouldn't even get as far as the electrical switch in the first place,
and that if it was, then there was already a leak further down in the
system. Even though a new switch would temporarily "fix" the problem,
it would quickly come back, since the offending seal in the PDWA housing
itself would not have been replaced.
I can't recall the specifics of the conversation, but
from the quickly sketched diagrams that were drawn at the time, it made
sense to me. Can anybody else out there shed more light on this?
