[Central-Electronics] 200V restoration

[Gutfrucht, Alan]

Colin,

I am also working on a 200V and just rebuilt the VFO assembly. I made a
sketch of the bearing module and took some notes. My sketch shows a wavy
washer on each side of the brass bushing. My notes say that the
counterbored side of the bushing is installed facing out (away from the
bearing assembly).

My rubber disk was pretty dry and somewhat flattened in the area that was
up against the plastic. I just lined up the line straight up and down and
put it back together. I have no adjustment there.

Regards,
Alan, WB2FZC
