[TenTec] Eagle tuning dial friction

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Mike:

Make sure the rubber ring on the outside of the knob has not been pushed 
back against the front panel.  Otherwise, there are no adjustments.

I have had inquiry as to how to add more drag.  My suggestion is, as 
other companies have done, add a piece of closed cell sheet packing, in 
the form of a 1" diameter washer with a 1/4" hole in the center.  Remove 
the knob, 2 set screws under the rubber ring, put on the foam washer, 
and put the knob back in place. To get more or less drag, just adjust 
the knob with respect to the front panel.
