Walt:
Fine tuning pots could be one solution I suppose. I have never
tried them. On my Quantum phaser, I retro-fitted two 6-to-1 Vernier
Reduction Drives. I also installed one on my K9AY indoor control
unit. This gives me fine control. The biggest issue is that you have
to engineer a way to mount them. I might write a mini-article to
describe how I did it if there is enough interest.
(This is not an endorsement.) I purchased my vernier reduction
drives from Ocean State Electronics on line.
