SB-101 LMO

[Rich Evans]

I'm have a mechanical problem with the LMO in my original SB-101.

I'm almost finished with restoration, but I now find that the LMO shaft
or knob only make a little over 3 revolutions, instead of the 5.  This
translates to the dial pointer moving from 0 to 3+, rather than 5.

I took the LMO apart for the first time and I don't see anything obvious.
The var cap goes from fully meshed to about 60 percent open.

The shaft has a series of washer-like devices on it, each with a tab stop.
I think the problem must be in this area; I must be missing something obvious.

Has anyone had anything like this before?  The 101 sat idle for almost
20 years ( kids, etc.), now it's time to roll. Everything else is up to spec,
bust this LMO thing.   Thanks.
