Anyone else ever hear the ancient slang for making an unskilled minor adjustment to a piece of equipment that is malfunctioning in a minor way: "titravate" ?

Nope.
But over here to titivate would be quite common casual speech for 'fixing up', 'mending' or similar context.
Is this just a spelling variant Bill - where'dja find it?

Dear Mav: my father used to say it about such things as second hand outboard motor with no instruction manual. He was clever with such things. I cannot claim that.
