HW-101 dial drive slippage

[Dave Edwards]

The Jackson drive, or the bearings in the tuning cap.
Its been many years, and not surprising at all that the lubrication
has hardened up. Many try to tighten the brass nut below the tuning shaft.
It will work, but eventually split the little tuning wheel.
The rig should tune smooth, and easily.
It should be easy to fine tune the main tuning knob with your pinky!
The SB's are a bit more to do because to do it right, you have to get into
the LMO (tuning box) to loosen up the cap.
Well worth doing!
...Dave
