Oh, you can make it do just the opposite, believe me. You can set
up the cap to either start from fully open or from fully closed.
Thinking that the LMO would "naturally be set up to go up in
frequency with indicated read out frequency" I set it up to start
from fully closed.....but if it starts from fully open, guess what?
The frequency will go <i>down</i> as you turn the dial
clockwise..... Spent the hour before going to church reversing it
and getting the spring loaded drive gear "cocked" and the braid back
on...it should work right now...<br>

Ok, that's the first mistake I made in rebuilding it...I made so at the full,
counterclockwise position, the capacitor was close to fully closed; I should
have set it up fully open...so that when I turn the dial clockwise, the LMO
frequency should go down, right?

Hmmm.....that, I don't remember, but when I have some spare time (we are
building an addition to our home, which is taking up most of our time), I'll
yank one open and take a look. I can't imagine how one could purposely
reverse the direction of tuning, though

Correct. For instance, on 80 meters, at the indicated frequency of 4.0 MHz,
the output of the LMO should be 5.0 MHz, and at an indicated frequency of
3.5 MHz, the output of the LMO should be at 5.5 MHz.
The EXACT frequencies will depend solely on the frequency accuracy of
your heterodyne oscillator crystals.
The same holds true for all the other bands too.

Sigh....yes....
My sincerest condolences. :-(
BTW, I have always considered those LMOs to be very beautifully built.
