I don't want to be too skeptical, but it sounds a little fishy to me. If
it was well packed and arrived with no obvious damage, I doubt the
tuning encoder would have gone bad in shipping, providing that's really
the problem. I suppose the seller could have overlooked the tuning knob
problem if he's not familiar with this kind of radio. If you can work on
it yourself, find out what an encoder costs and ask the seller for a
significant reduction in the price to allow for repairing it. Find out
what the part(s) cost first. Otherwise I hope you get your money back.

Yes, I pressed the Freq button, and the lock was off. The up/down buttons
work, and direct entry works. The rig is pulling in all kinds of stuff
tonight on a modest random length wire antenna. But that tuning knob just
won't do a thing. I'm gonna send it back to the seller and see if he can
figure it out. Aside from that, what a nice radio!

I just received a used NRD-525 from a dealer on ebay. All functions work
except the main tuning knob - it doesn't change the freq at all. The
up/down buttons work and the direct entry works. (The lock is not on.) I
tried reseating the boards but nothing seems to help. Am I overlooking
something simple? The unit supposedly worked 100% okay when shipped, so
possibly something came loose in shipping.

I know this may sound stupid, but did you press the FREQ button???
