> I just replaced a shorted 6AN5 tube and was able to pick up WWV on 10MHz. However, my MHz turret in the RF module turned as far as 10MHz and would not move from that position. I removed the module and removed the motor from it. I tested it with a 28VDC power supply and found a dead spot. It would start most of the time, but there seemed to be one point where it just needed a twist to get it going.

> I dis-assembled the motor and squirted it with CRC electric motor cleaner. I put a drop of Mobil 1 in the bearings and another drop in the planetary gear section and put it back together, It seems to work fine now with no dead spots.
>
> I put the motor back on the module and re-installed it in the receiver. Now my turret does not line up properly. When I set the frequency to 10MHz it stops between 10MHz & 11MHz.

> What did I do wrong? how do I get it to index properly again?
