I got the ball reducer to work, not perfectly, but good enough to move 
on to bigger problems.  I did not change the grease.  I'm using the 
Radio Shack Lube Gel which, I'm told, is a Teflon grease.  I did fool 
around quite a bit with the screws that set the tension on the ball 
reducer bearings.

I assembled the gaskets between the ball reducer assembly and the front 
panel spring assembly with the very thin one next to the knob and the 
thicker one closer to the front panel.  Mine seem to be lubricated with 
graphite, so I put a tiny bit more graphite on gaskets.

Thanks again to Joe, Colin, &  Bob

Jon, K6JEK
