[TenTec] Omni V tuning knob "chatter"...

[Tom Scott]

My Omni V tuning knob has a "chatter" or "rattle" when I turn it very fast.
Its not a big problem mind you, just a minor annoyance on an otherwise great
feeling control panel. I opened it up and looked at the Clarostat shaft
encoder that the knob is tied to and found that the chatter is actually in
the shaft encoder itself. I can feel it when I just turn the knob on the
Clarostat device.

Is this normal? Or is the bearing in mine wearing out? Has anybody had any
success improving this condition?

Thanks!
