[TenTec] Scout PTO question

[Bwana Bob <wb2vuf@qsl.net>]

Has anyone tried removing one or two of the plastic spacers that are on 
the PTO spring shaft? I am wondering if the PTO would tune more smoothly 
if there was a little less spring tension. Mine seems to have too much 
tension. When I tune lower in frequency, the let go of the tuning knob, 
the PTO springs back up frequency by about 100 Hz. Most annoying.
