Bought this used here on r2r. It had a orp probe on the second BNC connector. It is horribly corroded. Is it repairable?
Apex classic BNC repairable?

I have no experience with the apex but that BNC connector is likely replaceable if you can get into the box and aren’t afraid to solder if need be. You can find a replacement connector from digikey. Personally I’d open up the housing and see what the reverse side of the connector looks like.

I looked into a new solder in BNC connector, but didn't know if anyone had experience repairing something like this on an Apex.
Depending on your location, you may be able to find an electrical repair shop near you that could easily repair for little cost. I am a service engineer in turning/ abrasive technologies and have to get machine controls repaired almost weekly. Any reputable repair shop will be more than capable of repairing and inspecting your device as well as give you a quote up front.
Search businesses with key words like machine/ control/ cnc/ repair.
Best luck to you

Boo to whoever sold that to you in that condition. Hope karma catches up with them down the road.
You could send it back to Neptune for repairs. They will let you know if it can be repaired economically. I wouldn't be surprised if there was corrosion on the inside also.

I think I can replace it if I find a similar replacement part. It looks pretty straight forward.

Yes there is a little corrosion inside but it's just around that particular BNC connector.

I would assume you would need the proper ohm rating, it would through off the readings IMO. Like how a turnsignal flases twice as fast then a bulb is burnt out, 50% the ohms 2x the speed...

None that I can see, I'll have to remove it from the pcb and see if there are any markings somewhere.
