I'll check my "re-kitted" AR-3 this weekend when I go to Mammoth...<br>

<pre wrap="">>From the wording in the assembly manual, it would appear that the
main-tuning capacitor has built-in planetary reduction gearing, yet none of the
three receivers I have here exhibit that "feature". Tuning of the main-tuning
dial is direct and very fast.
In the past, I have seen such capacitors in which the reduction gearing was
"frozen", and by judicious application of some proper lubrication, this could be
"reactivated".
So, did the AR-3's main tuning capacitor in fact originally include planetary
reduction gearing?
