I recently bought a nice T-4XC that works fine except for the tuning mechanism.
The dials hang up and don't move sometimes. I took the tuning knob off and
find the brass sleeve slides along the tuning shaft to the PTO allowing the
gears to come un-meshed. Also the shaft turns WAY too freely inside the brass
sleeve. When you stop turning the shaft and go back the other way it takes
approx 1/16th rotation of the knob before the dial starts to move in the other
direction if at all. I read on the internet that it may be the result of
someone oiling it and my plan is to take it all apart and clean the oil off.
There is grease on the ball bearings at the shaft and the gears don't look dry
as they should. Before I dive into that does anyone have a better suggestion?
Thanks and 73 Tom
