Re: Removing FT-301 VFO mechanism ?

Joel,

I'd look at Tri-Flo, or the special mix I use...50/50 synthetic motorcycle chain lube and Park Tool synthetic bicycle grease.

I've reconditioned many Yaesu and Kenwood VFO drives with this formulation and it works.

Any grease with added friction modifiers is suitable, though.?

Well darn, that shaft was NOT bent. But still several points in rotation of the shaft where it "sticks" momentarily. Perhaps some fresh grease might help? Anybody have a suggestion for a good grease for this sort of purpose??

Luckily if I can't get this smoothed out I have an FV-301 I can pirate the Jackson drive from...
