Can I Fix This Radio Knob/Control Myself?
Hi gentlemen
On my Kenwood R-5000, my IF Shift inner knob doesn't stop turning at the positive and negative marks like it should. It works fine, but the knob spins freely all around and around if you wish without stopping like the other knobs on the radio. I know that some sort of catch is not stopping it from turning freely as it should. Broken off? Since the control works, is there any way to fix this myself somehow? If not, does anyone know what part number or type of control is used for replacement? Thanks guys Lucky |

The first thing to do is to be mindful of the fact that the Stops are NOT there and therefore keep from 'turning' the Control to far and do any more "Damage" to the Control until you repair it.

Thanks RHF
It looks like it's Potentiometer part # R19-9410-05 {NB. IF_Shift} Now, I did a search for this but nothing comes up. How do I find the exact part and where???
