Hi all!
1/2 drop of lubricant on the shaft instantly solved the problem. Pot turns perfectly now --like new. Thanks to each of you who suggested less drastic measures than replacement.

Hi Steve,
Could the sticky focus pot be due to hardened lube?
I had a PTT lever switch on an old Heathkit recently that immediately freed up with a very tiny shot of WD-40 to the bushing. I was amazed the fix was that easy.
For what its worth.
