Anyone have this and have had trouble tuning.

I lost the pilot light to the meter (still cant figure out how to get it
out. And ever since then it wont tune anything well. Keeps going off
tune. My 25 year old DIAWA is back in service and working fine.

I bought the 969 cause it had 6meters.

only lasted about a year.

Ideas ???

Cant find any pits on the roller inductor either.
