[TenTec] dial slippage

[pete wokoun, sr.]

Hi all,
  A newbe to this list, I'm looking at an OMNI-A for a friend.
  The elastic dial cord was old and over-stretched so I replaced the whole 
thing with a factory supplied replacement.  Followed the insturctions in the 
manual.
  However, now the venier shaft is not able to pull the dial pointer above 
about halfway up the scale.  It just slips like there is not enough 
'tightness' between the ball bearings in the venier and the knob shaft.  
Turning the knob skirt part of the venier and it works ok, as well as going 
downscale.  Is there any way to tighten up this venier mechanism and 
transfer more pull to the dial string.
  In the Collins S-line there's an adjustment screw just for this and I'm 
wondering how TenTec handles it.

mahalo,
pete KH6GRT
