[TenTec] Solving PTO drift

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!
