Backlash?

Is backlash in tuning mechanisms necessarily a problem, because
a little bit of looseness in the drive means that an accidental nudge of the
tuning control won't cause a frequency change, as it would if
tightly-coupled and backlash free?
And conversely, if what you WANT is a little nudge, you are out of luck.
Of course ALL this is solved with modern tuning controls with an
adjustable rate.
