[Yaesu] 1000D main tuning knob

[dgmaley at inav.net]

Rick;
It's the bearing on the main tuning encoder.  You may be
able to work a light oil down the shaft to free it, but
most likely, the problem will come back down the road.
There's also a drag clutch on the shaft, behind the knob.
See if it frees up if you remove the clutch parts.  I do 
know
that the clutch spring, and the little nylon washers are 
still
available.  Let us know how you do.
