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?


A sign of a good operator is the ability to just deal with minor quirks such
as this without moaning.
