[R-390] VFO (PTO)

[Curt Nixon]

I would be very careful about getting any liquid in around the shaft.  
The seals can dry up and moisture can get itn.  These are dry air purged 
originally but the seals wont still be intact.  I removed the seals on 
mine so it would free up the shaft somewhat but if it is working, I wold 
only clean the exterior.  See the internals of an collins A style here:
