dial slippage

[Dave Edwards]

More than likely. If it is slipping as you say, the knob should also be
turning very loosely.
If it is not, than the capacitor may be binding and tough to turn. Now when
you push the shaft up, it will be even tighter to turn. That is the sign
that more cleaning and lubing is required.
