[Collins] exciter tuning assembly for a Collins KWM2A

[Glen Zook]

If you are experiencing difficulty with how the assembly works, either too loose or too tight:  There is a "lock nut" on the rear of the assembly.  If the assembly is "slipping" then this nut needs to be turned clockwise (when viewed from the rear of the radio).  If the assembly is too tight, then this nut needs to be turned counter-clockwise.  The position of this nut is critical and moving it just a few degrees can have a serious effect on how the tuning assembly moves.  Frankly, it is a matter of trial and error and you may have to make the adjustment several times before getting it "just right".

I listed before but looking for the assembly. I feel that either the bearings are worn or the shaft is worn. Anyone with these parts or can tell me where to get them would be greatly appreciated. Would like to get this fine radio working.
