[R-390] Megacycle Knob slips

[Dan Merz]

Robert, a typo on my part,    change to "reinserting knob and shaft" ,  not
"knob and clamp".  There's only one clamp... Hi, hi.  Dan.

Subject: [R-390] Megacycle Knob slips

Friday, I ordered the PD-2 product detector for my R390A. Wouldn't you know
it.
Saturday, the next day,  the Megacycle knob slips/spins. I found the clamp
in front of the Megacycle gear loose, but I tightened it all the way, until
it's lips closed. The Megacyle knob still turns, without moving the
Megacycle gear. I can move the Megacycle gear with my fingers.
All the gear mechanisms work properly.
What do you think needs to be replaced, the horizontal shaft. the Megacycle
gear, or the clamp? What holds the shaft in there? Is there any way to avoid
taking the front panel off? (I have the Bristol wrenches.)
