[TenTec] Triton IV tuning problem

Mon, 8 Sep 2003 07:14:03 -0400

Ron:
I have a TenTec Omini-C and it had a stiff and rough vfo but TenTec told me
that the grease in the VFO gets dried and acts like no lubricant and has
chunks of dried grease. If shaft is gualded due to no grease you can get a
VFO repair kit. I sent mine in and they rebuilt it but now feel that I could
have torn it apart and cleaned the dried crap out of it and re-lubed it
myself. I would try it anyway.
Best Regards,

ps... TenTec did a nice job as it now turns silky smooth.

I have a Triton IV and remote VFO both of which have very stiff tuning.  It
would seem to be a lubrication problem.  Any help would be appreciated.
