Hi Rich
Your LMO problem is almsot certainly due to the lubrucant having dried
out on the rotor contact and capacitor bearings inside the LMO. This is
relatively easy to fix but requires some patience to remove the LMO from
the chassis. You will need to slacken the front panel and remove the
main tuning control and its friction connection to the dial assembly.
Best to study the user manual and various documents that have been
published on this topic before commencing work.
