Tight SB tuning??

[Gary Schafer]

Hi Dave

It's been a long time since I have been there but last I can remember
you can adjust the amount that the tuning knob shaft pushes down on the
dial. If I remember right there is enough room to move the collar up and
down enough to adjust it. You loosen the nut that holds the collar. It
is a real pain in the ---- to get it right. The trick is to get it just
as loose as you can get it and not have it slip on the dial. I have had
some that would adjust real nice and others that were just ok. I did
this mostly on SB100s. I am assuming the 102 is the same.

Good luck
