Ok....is there someplace I can find parts to repair mine....

I am not the original owner...how can I tell if they have gone to far and done any damage to the VFO ?

The eight-turn stop is essential.? If you go more than eight turns and smash the back end of the cavity, the VFO is irreparably ruined.

I don¡¯t know what is safe to degrease that plastic.

What about the small bit of plastic on each side of the cam closest to the pin that has worn away on each side creating a small ramp....?? ?What do you suggest to use as a cleaning agent or solvent?

I haven't posted very many times and tried to resend the pictures...

The stacked plates of the eight-turn stop should be free to rotate with respect to each other to the limits of their respective dogs.? Sounds like yours have frozen together into a single rigid lump.? You¡¯ll need to free them up, degrease with something that doesn¡¯t attack them, and put on a bit of fresh grease.

Hello all,

I recently acquired a hp8640b..
With a quick.? Checkout all seems to function...EXCEPT a detent in the frequency generator...when it hits this plastic (cog) it makes it very difficult to tune the frequency...( it does tune.)? This is my first generator and I have searched the internet for this issue elsewhere....it appears that all the other places I have found a picture of these cogs( think combination lock tumblers ) they are spaced out and not all bunched togeather like stair steps as in my picture...I have a red pointer pointing at the issue....the metal pin hits the cog on each revolution of the dial

I look forward to your help in this repair. And sourcing the parts to repair it...I am also looking for 1 black foot
