- Time to rebuld the PTO. I would flush out the old grease and re-lube before you order the TT rebuild kit. Ed W3NR _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting

- Kit with rebuilding instructions is about $25 from TenTec. Sometimes lubrication is all the PTO needs, but often parts are worn that come in the kit. 73, Jerry, K0CQ _________________________________

- Hi Jerry I would say that it is probably not tht mechanical part of the PTO. If It is the rebuild kit which is a good thing to buy while it is still available will probably not help since it just rep

- The drive is spring loaded but when the vernier balls and race wear, the shaft develops end play and the PTO isn't far from the internal speaker that makes noise for side tone while sending CW too. W

- Drift is usually a fairly slow change in frequency, most often caused by changes in temperature. A sudden and abrupt shift in frequency, or "jump", is usually due to some mechanical problem, like a l

- I do not believe the issue with the Ten Tec PTO mechanics is one of wear in the planetary drive, and I will explain my reason. The drive is made up of ball bearings, tracking in a bronze race. We've

- Hi, Jerry The common terminology for the symptom of a PTO with dry, gummy grease is "warble." Signals warble in frequency instead of being stable and as Phil says, there is difficulty in making fine

- There was a serious groove in the bronze race in my PTO bearing. The replacement had no such groove and drives the shaft through the whole range that the old one didn't. Remember the balls contact ar

- And when the shaft is not supported by the balls and thrust assembly, it can move on its own due to speaker vibration or just relaxing from the last operator induced motion. E.g. it backs up, on its
