Well, I bought a Corsair at a local hamfest 2 weeks ago and was told that
the receiver worked fine, but there wasn't any RF output. Not a problem, I
have already found the that Q1 a 2N3866 on the low level driver board is
toast! Anyway, since I already have it kinda apart, I thought I would go
ahead and at least clean the PTO and put some fresh grease on the workin's.
I don't think there are any worn parts, not that I can tell from the feel
and tuning the PTO anyway. The question is, what would the best cleaner or
way to clean the old grease from inside the PTO? Then, what would some of
you suggest for the new grease? It would be helpful if it would be
something that I could get off the shelf. Say, like a good bycicle lube or
whatever.
I have never had a PTO apart but it wasn't all that tricky to do. I just
want to use the type of material that others have tried and had success
with. I would really like to do this just ONCE.... so, I think that I will
ask the questions and AVOID my normal trial and error method! Hows come
they call it the TRIAL and ERROR method, whenever I use this method it
usually turns out to be ERROR!
Thanks in advance.
