Absolute must while your in there is to bond everything together with solder and a bridge to the vari cap chamber. If you still have that stupid plastic piece in there and it isn't floating around somewhere take it out and throw it away. They did that as a band aid to try to keep the VFO stable. Put a light sig in it and tap around, yep that's it. If it's a "D" model it is easy to make the VFO turn in the right direction. Covered int he Elcon library. Add an Elcon stabilizer to the back of the VFO for major stability. With the Elcon 33 I think it is I run them on 6, 2 and 220 mhz driving Xverters.?
