[Icom] IC-211 Tuning Problem.

I recently acquired a beautiful ICOM IC-211.  It came with the IC-RM2 
remote controller and SM2 mic.  I encountered a problem with the tuning 
shortly after I first began to use the rig.  I'd noticed earlier that the 
display seemed to "stick" briefly.  It got steadily worse until it just 
"froze" in place.  No amount of turning the dial will make it move, 
although I'm still able to tune the radio with the remote controller.  I 
haven't yet opened the rig to see if the optical shaft encoder is 
obstructed, but I will look into that soon.  Beyond that possibility what 
else might be the problem?

Thanks.
