[-] RE: [ICOM] Icom Tuning?...Help Please

[AD5VJ Bob]

Actually someone suggested that I do that using WD-40 so I did. Now the shaft is free as though it is new.

But I am concerned for how long. 

Is this a repeatable fix?

I am not asking that right. 

Is this a legitimate fix or can I expect it to happen again? I mean I like the fact that it is working like new, but is this a band
aide or is it fix that will last.

  73 fer nw,
