[TenTec] Curiosity Question

[J. W. (Dub) Thornton]

Dan:  The bandswitch knob on my Corsair II split around the shaft, back in the
late 80's.  I removed the knob, and filled the empty space surrounding the thin
wall that surrounds the shaft with epoxy.  There has been no sign of any 
looseness
of that knob since the fix.  I  remember making the fix, but cannot 
actually recall
whether the setscrew had to be protected from the epoxy seizing up on it or 
not.
It appears that the setscrew is drilled thru a wall, that would keep it 
from being
exposed to the epoxy at all, but I can't tell on mine now, due to the epoxy 
totally
sealing off the empty voids of the knob.  You should be able to readily see 
whether
the set-screw is going to be in harms way from the epoxy, and if so, remove 
the
set-screw, coat it with grease, and keep it turned often, as the epoxy sets up.

Luck with it!
