Hi there Chris!

I live in Florida like 10 min away from South Beach. I would try replacing
the string in it first. I think it uses a string since it's analog. I never
opened my 7700 so I don't remember if it uses one or not. If it does,
replace it. I would also try cleaning the VFO first. Must be very dirty
after all this time. Don't use the Radio Shack crap. Buy the good stuff
called Caig Pro Gold cleaner. It's the best to use on old equipment. Good
luck
Try this page for the stuff.
