[Milsurplus] Restore BC-348 question fix air padder?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Hutch,

You've probably been kicked back out to the garage tonight.  One of the TV 
channels was predicting a low of 59 tonight down here in Houston.

If the capacitor rotor turns when you tighten the lock nut, usually one or 
the other or both of two things have happened.  Either the ID of the nut is 
touching the OD of the rotor shaft (due to corrosion build up or mechanical 
damage) or the externally threaded split bushing/rotor shaft bearing that the nut 
screws onto is rotating in the ceramic end support.  A third possibility would 
be that the ID of the shaft bearing is loose on the rotor shaft but I can't 
honestly say I've ever encountered that.

But normally, there is no tendency for the rotor to turn when you tighten the 
lock nut as there is no mechanism other than those given above to transfer 
torque from the nut driver to the rotor shaft.
