Hi Wade:
Not sure about the C line but my original R4A/T4x is still smooth as
silk. It won't free spin, but I can place my finger into one of the
flutes in the knob circumference and just move my finger in a circle and
easily spin the knob from one end of the band to the other. There is
nothing in the mechanical mechanism that would create any friction to
speak of.
Old grease or other lube could get gunky I guess and should be flushed
out and replaced with teflon grease or similar.
FWIW

Hi Drakelist.
I am interested in understanding how smooth the Drake C Line dial
mechanisms were when the product was originally shipped from the
factory. Perhaps some of you are original owners of C Line equipment
and would comment?
I have read that "The dial mechanism should offer only slight
resistance to the tuning knob. You should be able to fast spin the
tuning knob by placing your index finger on the outside of the knob
and rotating your hand."
Is this technically correct? I have a couple of C-Line units from
different sources where the dial mechanisms are identical and smooth
but definitely not free finger spinning as described above.
