I had the factory rebuild both PTOs in my Corsair II and the external VFO last year. The one in the rig has settled down, but the one in the external VFO is acting up. It is still stiff, and has a lot of slop when trying to tune it slowly. I noticed this weekend, that the dial skirt moves at the same rate as the tuning knob. So, apparently there is minimal vernier reduction going on. Before I send it back, is there a fix for this that I can do myself without disassembling the PTO itself?

Thanks!
