I figured it out. I thought the C clip was in a grove on the
shaft. Its not. I simply moved the C clip out a bit and the wave
washer scheme works just fine now.
Thanks for the tip!
This was an eBay purchase (I know... I should have known better,
Ive been burned before) and it was packed horribly! It was shipped
face down with the knobs in the bottom of box, with ONE layer of
bubble wrap!
If the knucklehead that packed and shipped it, would have shipped
it with the label on the other end of the box (where there was
lots of bubble wrap), we may not be having this discussion!
Thanks again

Thanks. I guess I need another washer between the C clip and
the wave washer. The wave washer is not "thick" enough to put
pressure on the back of the KHz dial. It just flops around. And
it also hits the front panel before it makes any resistance to
the KHz disk.

Jim, the
earlier sets use a completely different system.? The earlier
sets (including the B's) have a single shaft to the PTO, with
a single dial for reading frequency to the nearest 25 kHz,
with graduations on the knob skirt for reading to the nearest
1 kHz.? The skirt, which is held in place by a wave washer
pressing against a circlip that's mounted on the shaft.? The
skirt can be slipped on the shaft to calibrate the frequency.
The C Line
uses two discs and has no calibration marks on the skirt
(though there is a dimple to indicate rotation by touch).?
There are concentric shafts that synch the PTO frequency to
the readout that are coupled by that bushing.
If you have an
R-4B, there is no need for the bushing.

Is this the same for the R4B as well?
Thanks
