[R-390] Dial Zero Adjustment (cont)

[Bill & Becky Marvin]

Group

About a week ago I wrote about the DZ problem, jammed adj.......little
or no clutch release......high amount of backlash.

I dropped the front down and removed the DZ assembly from the panel.
The inner shaft was jammed inside the outer bushing.  I soaked the shaft-
bushing in mineral spirits over night...........the assembly then unjammed and
turned in and out freely.

Spent sometime lubricating a gears,cams, guides etc. The VFO now tunes
with one finger......very very smooth.

PROBLEM  After reassembly, the DZ still doesn't retract (CCW) enough outward to fully release!  Does the clutch have an adjustment to move the gear back away from the panel (Finger Plate).  The Fender plate is retracted outward maximum???
