how to remove the VFO..It does not appear to be a simple 1-2-3 action

pto,may be from inactivity..may need cleaning or whatever...thanks


Did you download the manual? Look at www.tentec.com under downloads
then obosolete manuals.


As I recall there is a sort of planetary gear arrangement made with
ball bearings used to scale the shaft down. You may be able to free
it up just by squirting a little Super Lube or something in there, but
the real solution is to disassemble, clean, and regrease it.
