I use Ronsonol lighter fluid to de-grease dial drives and it works well. Those planetary mechanisms should be grease-free to work well. A knob from a cheap baklite clock radio will fit the HQ-170 clock. Best Regards, Ed Canyon Lake, TX |

Thanks Dan Weston KB1JIH Standish, Maine Hi Dan.... If you remove the knob and pointer does the cap turn freely? Make sure that the pointer is not dragging on the panel. It could also be that the lube has dried up. Try a drop of 3in1 or some other light oil. I have a clock knob from my parts collection....no charge. 73, Roger in Limington. tel 637-3484 -- Remove tilde (~) in e-mail address to reply -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
