[R-390] RF Gear Question

[Jon]

Hi Folks,


Happy Holidays!!  I have a question concerning a particular gear in the RF
deck.  The gear is the one with the clutch for zero adjustment. I noticed
when I calibrated the root meter to +/- 35 above and below. While turning
thru the range the nipples would move to the end of their range resulting in
misalignment.  If I have this gear in my hand, I am able to turn the gear
and its secondary gear by hand, which results in realignment of the three
nipples. My thinking is that I should not be able to turn the two gears at
all unless I press very hard against the three nipples and turn at the same
time.  Does anyone have any experience in dealing with this and how would
one correct this. Thanks.
