[rodgersorgan] Re: Sticky Oscillators while tuning....

Patrick,
 
The oscillator cap and base were coated with paraffin.  Over the years heat 
causes the paraffin to melt and the two parts adhere.  Try heating the cap a 
bit with a hair dryer until the bond loosens up.  Then keep the two pieces 
moving while it cools down.  The whole assembly has to be back at "operating" 
temperature to get an accurate tuning.
 
Regards,
 
Ed

Hi All... 

I'm in the midst of tuning my 340 and have a few core caps which are VERY
difficult to turn for the tuning. Does anyone have some ideas on how to
make them turn without destroying the oscillator itself from the ciruit
board? 

Thanks in advance. 

Pat
