[TenTec] Planetary reduction drive on Titan

[AC5E at aol.com]

Well, my Titan has been my daily driver for a dozen years and I have always 
been impressed with how smooth and easy the tune and load controls move. 
The poly sheets are thinner than the interplate spacing, so should have 
little or no effect on the required turning effort. 

Those are hand assembled variables, so maybe somebody tightened the shaft 
tension just a tad too tight? Or maybe it just needs a drop of oil in it's 
joints. 

Anyhoo, TenTec parts should have the reduction drive, and it would be worth 
checking when you replace the vernier.
