[Hammarlund] Need help with Dial slipping on SP-600

Thu, 9 Jan 2003 06:45:53 -0600

Get a can of Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber from your local firearms emporium.
Take the radio outside in a nice breeze (don't breathe this stuff!) and
spray the brass drive roller with it. Also shoot a little on a rag and wipe
down the edge of the driven dial with it. Works about 90% of the time.
Problem is oil/grease has migrated onto the drive roller, which must be
totally, completely, oil free to get a grip.
